A Whopper combo meal costs $3.00 and gives you an additional 15 units of utility; a meal at the Embassy Suites costs $29.00 and gives you an additional 145 units of utility. Based solely on the information you have, using the theory of rational choice, you most likely would:
be indifferent between the two meals
Explanation:
Marginal utility is the additional satisfaction received from consuming an additional unit of a good or service. Marginal utility is the additional utility derived from consuming one more unit of a good. the consumption decision is to consume more units of a good that gives the higher utility per good.
Marginal utility per good = marginal utility / price of the good
Whopper combo meal = 15 / 3 = 5
a meal at the Embassy Suites = 145 / 29 = 5
both meals have the same marginal utility of 5. She would be indifferent between consuming the two meals
