Utility is a term in economics that refers to the total satisfaction received from consuming a good or service. Economic theories based on rational choice usually assume that consumers will strive to maximize their utility. poojasree2727 https://padlet.com/poojasree2727/b7n6wlbomiy9zfsz/wish/678504639 2020-08-13 11:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/poojasree2727/b7n6wlbomiy9zfsz/wish/678504639 MEASUREMENT OF UTILITY poojasree2727 https://padlet.com/poojasree2727/b7n6wlbomiy9zfsz/wish/678605995

For example, if a Nissan car gives 5,000 units of utility, a BMW car would give 8,000 units.]]> 2020-08-13 13:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/poojasree2727/b7n6wlbomiy9zfsz/wish/678609600 The cardinal utility approach used in analyzing the consumer behavior depends on the following assumptions: 1.Rationality: It is assumed that the consumers are rational, and they satisfy their wants in the order of their preference. 2.Limited Resources (Money): The consumer has limited money to spend on the purchase of goods and services and thus this makes the consumer buy those commodities first which is a necessity. 3.Maximize Satisfaction: Every consumer aims at maximizing his/her satisfaction for the amount of money he/she spends on the goods and services. 4.Diminishing Marginal Utility: This means, with the increased consumption of a commodity, the utility derived from each successive unit goes on diminishing. 5.Marginal Utility of Money is Constant: It is assumed that the marginal utility of money remains constant irrespective of the level of a consumer’s income. poojasree2727 https://padlet.com/poojasree2727/b7n6wlbomiy9zfsz/wish/678671732 2020-08-13 13:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/poojasree2727/b7n6wlbomiy9zfsz/wish/678671732 TYPES OF UTILITY poojasree2727 https://padlet.com/poojasree2727/b7n6wlbomiy9zfsz/wish/678721509 TOTAL UTILITY:                                                             MARGINAL UTILITY:

Total utility formula: TU = U1 + MU2 + MU3
Marginal Utility = Change in total utility/Change in number of units consumed.

For example: Suppose a person prefers tea to coffee and coffee to milk. Hence, he or she can tell subjectively, his/her preferences.]]> 2020-08-13 16:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/poojasree2727/b7n6wlbomiy9zfsz/wish/678944982 Assumptions of Ordinal Utility Approach 1.Rationality: It is assumed that the consumer is rational who aims at maximizing his level of satisfaction for given income and prices of goods and services, which he wish to consume. He is expected to take decisions consistent with this objective. 2.Ordinal Utility: The indifference curve assumes that the utility can only be expressed ordinally. This means the consumer can only tell his order of preference for the given goods and services. 3.Non satiety: It is assumed that the consumer has not reached the saturation point of any commodity and hence, he prefers larger quantities of all commodities. poojasree2727 https://padlet.com/poojasree2727/b7n6wlbomiy9zfsz/wish/678961861 2020-08-13 16:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/poojasree2727/b7n6wlbomiy9zfsz/wish/678961861 THANK YOU poojasree2727 https://padlet.com/poojasree2727/b7n6wlbomiy9zfsz/wish/679826755                                                                                        BY
