Expert Solution

Step 1

The additional satisfaction a consumer gets from possessing one extra unit of an item or service is known as marginal utility. Economists utilise the notion of marginal utility to determine how much of a product consumers are prepared to pay for.

An indifference curve depicts a combination of two items that provide the same level of satisfaction and usefulness to the consumer, resulting in indifference. The consumer has an equal preference for the combinations of items depicted along the curve—that is, he or she is unconcerned with any combination of goods on the curve.
