What you know about utility
Utility – a new classical theory which
discuss about our satisfactions which we receive from every single units of consumption. In it, we count our satisfaction from consumption by taking some
things in a series. In starting, we get more satisfaction but every new consumption
of same units, it decreases our satisfaction level with every new consumption
with step by step. In it, we assume that we are able to count our satisfaction in
a unit and we call it “util”.

Some assumption for theory –
ü
We
are able to count our satisfaction level with every single unit of same consumptions
ü
Money
is the main parameter for this
ü
Marginal utility of money remain
unchanged or same
ü
We
know the quality or availability of different product
ü
We
know the price of different product
ü
There is no
alternative available
Total
utility – when
consumption the same thing in a series, he get utility from that but our
utility of consumption is decreasing with every new consumption of the same
unit. If we add all the utility of same things then we get the “total utility”.
For example –
1st banana give us a
utility of 10 units,
2nd banana give 7.5
units,
3rd banana give 5 units,
4th banana give 2.5 units
and if we add all these utilities of banana then we get the total utility of banana which we receive.
Marginal
utility – when we
start the consumption of any goods and services, 1st units give us a
high level of satisfaction, 2nd give us a less satisfaction then 1st,
3rd give us a less satisfaction then 2nd. So every new
units of consumption have less utility then it’s previous. Other way, we can
say that marginal utility is decreasing with every new unit. For example –
1st units have 10 & 2nd
units have 7.5 so total marginal utility is (10+7.5=17.5).
2nd units 7.5 & 3rd
units have 5 so total marginal utility is (7.5+5=12.5).
3rd units have 5 & 4th
have 2.5 so total marginal utility is (5+2.5=7.5).
