To answer these questions, we will analyze the graph of marginal utility (MUx) as a function of the quantity consumed of commodity X. The y-axis (vertical) represents marginal utility (MUx). The x-axis (horizontal) represents the quantity of X consumed. The marginal utility curve is downward-sloping. Marginal utility is zero (MUx = 0) when the quantity of X is 6 units. Marginal utility is negative when the quantity of X is greater than 6 units. a) At what level(s) of consumption of commodity X is: i) the consumer at the point of saturation; The point of saturation is reached when the marginal utility (MUx) is equal to zero. From the graph, this occurs when the quantity of X consumed is 6 units. 6 units ii) the marginal utility of X (MUx) decreasing but positive; Marginal utility is decreasing throughout the graph. It is positive when it is above the x-axis (MUx > 0). This occurs for quantities of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 units. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 units iii) the total utility of X (TUx) decreasing; Total utility (TUx) begins to decrease when marginal utility (MUx) becomes negative. From the graph, MUx is negative for quantities greater than 6 units, i.e., from 7 units onwards. 7 units and above iv) the total utility of X (TUx) at its maximum? Total utility (TUx) is at its maximum when marginal utility (MUx) is equal to zero. From the graph, this occurs when the quantity of X consumed is 6 units. 6 units That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
