ExpertAnswer. b) Total Utility Explanation : Consumer thoer . View the full answer. Transcribed image text: The theory of consumer behavior assumes that consumers attempt to maximize: O a. # of goods consumed O b. total utility O c. the difference between total and marginal utility. O d. marginal utility. Totalutility and marginal utility are essential concepts in utility theory, providing insights into consumer satisfaction and decision-making. Total utility represents the overall satisfaction derived from consuming a specific quantity of a good, while marginal utility measures the additional satisfaction gained from consuming an extra unit. Marginalutility, then, is the change in total utility from consuming one more or one less of an item. For example, the marginal utility of a third slice of pizza is the change in satisfaction one gets when eating the third slice instead of stopping with two. Marginalutility shapes an individual demand curve, as the utility from extra units declines, consumers are willing to pay a lower price - hence a downwardly sloping demand curve. When choosing between different goods, the Equi-Marginal principle argues that consumers will maximise total utility from their incomes by consuming that Utilitymeaning in economics procured from the idea of usefulness. A product's utility entirely relies on its capability to satisfy a consumer's need or demand. There are various distinct representations of measuring the economic utility and the usefulness of a commodity or a service. It was first presented by an eminent Swiss mathematician Totalutility refers to the complete amount of satisfaction gained. Marginal utility refers to the satisfaction gained from an extra unit consumed. If the marginal utility of the last item is positive - then total utility will be increasing If the marginal utility of the last consumption is negative - total utility will be falling Relation total utility is the summation of marginal utility. Total utility is the sum total of utility derived from the consumption of all the units of a commodity. To illustrate, if 2 units of a commodity are consumed and 1st unit yields satisfaction of 10 utils, while 2nd unit yields satisfaction of 9 utils, then total utility is 19 utils 4The marginal-total relationship presented in this chapter is the first of many the students will be asked to learn as they go through the Microeconomics chapters. Figure 21.1 and the accompanying table illustrate the relationship between total and marginal-utility. a.
