Topic:
Demand For A Good
|

- Demand captures changes in quantity demanded resulting from changes in the price.
Let's take stock of what has happened:- The price of beach admission has declined from $1 per hour to $0.50 per hour.
- The quantity demanded of beach time has increased from 2 hours to 4 hours.
- Total utility has increased from 22 utils to 36 utils because a larger quantity has been consumed.
- Marginal utility has decreased from 10 utils to 6 utils, again because a larger quantity has been consumed and the law of diminishing marginal returns has been at work.
- In conclusion, the lower price of admission has allowed me to purchase a larger quantity of beach time with a given income.
