Why does marginal utility decrease?
Law of diminishing marginal utility states that equal additions to a good provide smaller and smaller increases in total utility, therefore marginal utility decreases. Lets use apples for an example. The first apple is very satisfying and adds a lot of utility, say 100 total utility. If you have a second apple, it is less satisfying, and adds 80 to make 180 total utility. A third apple adds only 50 utility, to make 230 total. Total utility is increasing at a decreasing rate. Therefore, the marginal utility (satisfaction) between each apple is decreasing, which illustrates the law of diminishing marginal utility.
What are differences between marginal utility and total utility?
Topic Marginal Utility Total Utility 1. Definition Marginal utility is the extra satisfaction which a consumer gets from consuming additional units of goods. Total utility is the sum of total satisfaction of a consumer derives from consumption of a particular good. 2. Feature It can be negative. It can't be negative. 3. Sloping It is downward sloping. It is upward sloping.
