REAL LIFE EXAMPLE OF LAW OF DIMINISHING MARGINAL UTILITY


Law of diminishing marginal utility

we usually face this situation where restaurants offer unlimited food. People get attracted to the word unlimited, but the fact behind is law of diminishing marginal utility. People thought they can eat more food for a given price but they can’t. people get satisfaction for the first three utilized items, but as the order increases their marginal utility decreases.

The customer’s marginal utility at the initial state remains high and customer have starters, but consumption increases, now marginal utility decreases as a result customer eats less. hence company makes profits from such offers.

With the continuous usage of a good, marginal utility derived from each extra unit starts decline. This is law of diminishing marginal utility.
