When marginal utility is positive, total utility____
Q- Marginal utility can never be negative.
True/False
Consider an economy with two goods, consumption c and leisure 1, and a
representative consumer. The consumer is endowed with 24 hours of time
in a day. A consumer's daily leisure hours are equal to 1 = 24-h where
h is the number of hours a day the consumer chooses to work. The price
of consumption p is equal to 1 and the consumer's hourly wage is w. The
consumer faces an ad valorem tax on their earnings of 7 percent. The con-
sumer also receives some exogenous income Y that does not depend on how
many hours she works (e.g. an inheritance). The consumer's preferences over
consumption and hours of work can be represented by the utility function
U(c, h) = c-3h¹+, where 3 > 0 and p > 0 are parameters.
