Q.

When marginal utility is zero, the total utility is -

A. Minimum
B. Increasing
C. Maximum
D. Decreasing
Answer» C. Maximum
Explanation: Marginal utility measures the extra utility (or satisfaction) from consuming an additional unit of a product. Total utility is the total satisfaction from the consumption of the product. According to the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility, total utility increases at a diminishing rate. When marginal utility is 0 this means there is no increase in total satisfaction from the consumption of that unit. So the total unit is at maximum.
