What if the following describes a situation in which there would be a decreasing marginal utility?
Buying a second winter coat.
What describes a situation in which there would be decreasing marginal utility?
Buying a new car when you already have two cars. ordering a second dessert when your're already full
Describe a situation in which there would be decreasing marginal utility?
A situation in which there would be decreasing marginal utility would be:buying a new car when you already have two carsBuying a second winter coatordering a second dessert when you're already full
What describes a situation which there would be decreasing marginal utility?
The Law of Diminishing Returns is one of the powerful laws in economics. The Law of Economies of Scale is another law of similar importance. [And in that order IMHO]
What occurs when somebody buys a third winter coat elasticity substitution decrease marginal utility or efficient production?
decreasing marginal utility

Why does marginal utility decrease?
Law of diminishing marginal utility states that equal additions to a good provide smaller and smaller increases in total utility, therefore marginal utility decreases. Lets use apples for an example. The first apple is very satisfying and adds a lot of utility, say 100 total utility. If you have a second apple, it is less satisfying, and adds 80 to make 180 total utility. A third apple adds only 50 utility, to make 230 total. Total utility is increasing at a decreasing rate. Therefore, the marginal utility (satisfaction) between each apple is decreasing, which illustrates the law of diminishing marginal utility.
Why does marginal utility slope downward?
Marginal utility slopes downward due to two assumptions: 1) Marginal utility satisfies Innada conditions [mathematical component]. 2) Marginal utility is diminishing [economics component]. This means as a person consumes more of a good, their change in utility > 0 but is decreasing. As consumption -> infinity, utility is 0. Summary: Slopes downward because utility is increasing at a decreasing rate. Real-life example: the first slice of pizza you eat tends to be the most filling or 'the best'. However, as you eat more and more pizza, your happiness from eating the pizza is falling because you don't get as much benefit from it.
