Textbook Question
Chapter 2.5, Problem 27E
In economics, total utility refers to the total satisfaction from consuming some commodity. According to the economist Samuelson:20
As you consume more of the same good, the total (psychological) utility increases. However, . . .with successive new units of the good, your total utility will grow at a slower and slower rate because of a fundamental tendency for your psychological ability to appreciate more of the good to become less keen.
- (a) Sketch the total utility as a function of the number of units consumed.
- (b) In terms of derivatives, what is Samuelson saying?

1. A farmer can sell his potatoes for $8 per bushel today, but this price is dropping by 5¢ per day. The farmer estimates that his crop in the field would amount to 1300 bushels if harvested today and that it is increasing at the rate of 10 bushels per day. Express the farmer's income from the sale of the potatoes as a function of the number of days he waits before harvesting and selling the crop.
d. Predict weekly gross revenue for a week when $3,400 is spent on television advertising and $2,000 is spent on newspaper advertising?
NOTE: To compute the predicted revenues, use the coefficients you have computed rounded to two decimals, as you have entered them here. Then, round your predicted revenue to the nearest dollar.

A movie theater seats 240 people. For any particular show, the amount of money the theater makes is a function of the number of people, n, in attendance. Analysis of recent price and attendance data suggests that for a weekday matinee showing, if the price of a ticket is set at p dollars, then the number of people in attendance is given by n = 240 – 12p. (a) At what price will no one attend the showing? (b) How many people will attend if prices are set at the regular price of $12? What income will the theater earn at this price? (c) Write an equation that describes the income, I, that the theater will earn in terms of the ticket price, р.
