We can explain the paradox of value as follows: The consumer surplus from water, which is cheap, is than the consumer surplus from gold, which is expensive; the total utility from gold is than the total utility from water; and the marginal utility per dollar spent on water the marginal utility per dollar spent on gold. O greater; less; equals O smaller; less; equals O greater; greater; greater than less; greater; greater than
