5. Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility Utility refers to the satisfaction achieved in consuming goods and services.

• Marginal Utility and Total Utility are two classification of utility. The first one is the added satisfaction you get while the latter is the entirety of satisfaction you get in buying and using the products.

E.G.: when a hungry person eats the first serving of fried chicken, he may still want another one. After that, he may ask for another fried chicken. He may do up to the fifth serving or until hunger is satisfied. But his satisfaction from the 1st and 2nd serving is not the same when consumed the 3rd up to 5th servings. This is because the total utility increases for every consumption but if it is continuously done w/o any interval, marginal utility becomes lower as we reach our saturation point in consuming the same product.

• Marginal utility is the principle that that limits consumption and makes it prredictable.
