does the principle of diminishing marginal rate of substitution depend on the diminishing marginal utility of X and Y?
Homework Answers
Yes.If the marginal rate of utilities were not diminishing not marginal rate of substitution would not be diminishing, because MRS is the ratio of marginal utilities of X and Y

QUESTION; Given Biwei’s utility function U=4XY, where X is consumption of beer and Y is consumption of pizza. For this utility function, the marginal utility of X is MUx = 4Y; the marginal utility of Y is MUY = 4X. 1) Suppose Y = 3. Calculate Biwei’s utility for X = 2, 3, 10, and 11. For a given level of Y, does good X display diminishing marginal utility? 2) Suppose X = 3. Calculate Biwei’s utility for Y =...

1- According to the principle of rational choice, if there is diminishing marginal utility: A) and the price received for supplying a good goes up, you supply less of that good. B) and the price received for supplying a good goes up, you supply more of that good. C) the decision producers face about how much to supply is not affected. D) after a certain point, even if the price goes up, you don't supply more of that good.

Diminishing marginal utility is equivalent to diminishing MRS2 1 → (where MRS2 1 → is defined as the marginal rate of substitution of good 2 for good 1, in the usual manner). b. A consumer has diminishing MRS2 1 → if goods 1 and 2 are perfect substitutes. c. If two goods are perfect complements, a consumer will have diminishing MRS2 1 → . d. If a consumer has monotonic and strictly convex preference,...
