What does Aggregate marginal willingness to pay mean?
An aggregate demand curve is derived from the principle of diminishing marginal utility and it shows the amount of a good (or service) consumers would buy at different prices over some time period. Diminishing marginal utility implies that as the number of units consumed increases, the willingness to pay for additional units of that good (i.e., marginal WTP, MWTP) goes down.
What is the law of diminishing of marginal utility?
The Law of Diminishing Marginal UtilityThe law of diminishing marginal utility can be logically deduced from the axiom of human action. To show this, let us start with some remarks on utility. Utility is a subjective concept. It denotes "satisfaction" (or "happiness" or "contentment"). It rises if and when an individual increases his or her state of satisfaction. Conversely, if and when someone considers himself in a worse state of affairs, his utility decreases.What is more, utility is an ordinal concept, meaning that utility cannot be measured in terms of higher or lower utility from the viewpoint of an individual; and changes in utility among different people cannot be measured. All one can say is that utility is higher or lower from the viewpoint of an individual.Rothbard explained why this is:In order for any measurement to be possible, there must be an eternally fixed and objectively given unit with which other units may be compared. There is no such objective unit in the field of human valuation. The individual must determine subjectively for himself whether he is better or worse off as a result of any change.[2]Marginal utility means the utility of increments of goods; it means the utility of enjoying an additional good. Marginal utility does not mean increments of utility - which would imply measurability of utility.[3] So what does the law of diminishing marginal utility say?The law says, first, that the marginal utility of each (homogenous) unit decreases as the supply of units increases(and vice versa); second, that the marginal utility of a larger-sized unit is greater than the marginal utility of a smaller-sized unit (and vice versa). The first law denotes the law of diminishing marginal utility, the second law the law of increasing total utility.These two dimensions of the law of diminishing marginal utility follow directly from the axiom of human action; they can be logically deduced from it, and they do not in any way depend on psychology or any behavioral assumption. This will be shown in what follows.by economist Aamir suhail Maitlo for futher info:email address :aamirsuhail026@gmail.com
What is diminishing marginal productivity explain with example?

Explain the relationship between total utility and marginal utility?
Total Utility can mean the total amount of satisfaction gained from the purchase or consumption of a product. Marginal Utility is the amount of satisfaction gained from purchasing or consuming more of the same product. For Example: If you purchased two slices of Pizza, Your total utility would be the satisfaction you receive from consuming both slices. Your marginal utility would be the satisfaction you gained consuming an additional slice (i.e. The difference between consuming two slices versus one slice) Typically your marginal utility decreases as your consumption increases. For Example: If you have eight pizzas, one extra slice is not likely to bring you as much satisfaction as a second slice would if you only had one slice of pizza (as opposed to eight pizzas).
Do diminishing returns necessarily mean economic inefficiency?
No, diminishing returns do not necessarily mean economic inefficiency. By contrast, diminishing returns usually create a condition where a marginal benefit = marginal cost condition is achieved and results in a stable, non-infinite equilibrium. It would be inefficient to produce over or under this equilibrium, but the nature of production functions do not ensure inefficiency.
Economists use the term marginal utility to mean?
additional satisfaction gained by the consumption of one more unit of a good.
Law of diminishing returns mean in the work world?
It means that the marginal output will continue to diminish for the business as production continues. The business will have to introduce new technology to prevent this effect.

What are increasing marginal returns?
ncreasing marginal returns mean that marginal product is greater for each subsequent unit of a variable input than it was for the previous unit. Decreasing marginal returns, as such, mean that marginal product is less for each subsequent unit of a variable input than it was for the previous unit.
Why does low of diminishing operate?
Get the question right. Then you might get a sensible answer. Do you mean "Law of Diminishing Returns"? To answer this you need to state the context.
What does profit maximizing quantity of output mean?
Its the level of production where marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue.
