Marginal utility = change in Total utility
TU of 5 units = 114
TU of 6 units = 119
Marginal utility of 5th unit = 114 - 108 = 6
Marginal utility of 6th unit = 119 - 114 = 5
When consumption is reduced from 6 to 5 units Total utility decreases but marginal utility increases
option A is correct answer

3. Optimal Consumption Decision in Utility Maximization Model 1) Biwei’s marginal use value for chamomile tea consumption is MU=-2Q+6, where Q is the box quantity of chamomile tea consumed and takes only integer values. Draw the marginal use value curve and total use value curve for Q less than 5. If the price for a box of chamomile tea is $4, how many boxes will Biwei consume per week? If the price drops to $2, how many boxes will Biwei...
