Define and explain the relationship between total utility, marginal utility, and the law of diminishing marginal utility.
Suppose Lucia has to choose between purchasing high-definition televisions and water. Which of the following is the utility-maximizing rule that Lucia should follow while choosing the optimal quantities of these two goods? (Note: In the answer options that follow, MU stands for "marginal utility.") DO (MU of Water) x (Price of Water) - (MU of HDTVs) x (Price of HDTVs) O MU of Water - MU of HDTVs MU of HDTVs MU of Water Price of HDTVs Price of Water O MU of Water Price of Water MU of HDTVs Price of HDTVs Since water costs little and high-definition televisions are expensive, it must follow that when people choose their optimal quantities of water and high-definition televisions to purchase, the marginal utility they receive from the last high-definition television they buy is than the marginal utility they receive from the last gallon of water they buy.
Q6) Utility Ratio and Consumption Maximization A consumer downloads 3 movies and 4 apps per week.

If at a quantity consumed of 1 unit, total utility equals 25 and marginal utility equals 25, and at a quantity consumed of 2 units, total utility is unknown and marginal utility is 20, and at a quantity consumed of 3 units, total utility is 57 and marginal utility is unknown, what is marginal utility of the third unit?
Please see the attached question.
The principle of diminishing marginal utility says that people don't enjoy consuming more of a good. True or False and Explain the choice
Rohan’s current marginal utility from consuming peanuts is 100 utils per ounce and his marginal utility from consuming cashews is 200 utils per ounce. If peanuts cost $0.10 per ounce and cashews cost $0.50 per ounce, is Rohan maximizing his total utility from the kinds of nuts? Enter your responses as whole numbers. At the current level of peanut consumption, Rohan receives: utils per dollar.At the current level of cashew consumption, Rohan receives: utils per dollar.Therefore, Rohan maximizing his total utility because MUp/Pp is MUc/Pc.
