When marginal utility is zero, the total utility is
Options:
A .  Decreasing
B .  Minimum
C .  Increasing
D .  Maximum
Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
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.
