Study Notes
Relationship between Total Utility and Marginal Utility
- Total utility (TU) increases as long as marginal utility (MU) is positive.
- Total utility (TU) is maximum when marginal utility (MU) reaches zero, not when MU is negative.
- Total utility (TU) does not start diminishing when marginal utility (MU) is negative; instead, it starts diminishing when MU becomes zero.
- Decreasing marginal utility (MU) implies that total utility (TU) is increasing at a decreasing rate.
