Joe should decrease his consumption of crackers and his marginal utility from crackers will  increase and also  increase his consumption of cheese and his marginal utility from cheese will decrease .

<h3>What happens to marginal utility when consumption decreases?</h3>

According to the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility, the additional utility derived from increasing consumption declines with each additional increase in consumption level.

What happens to marginal utility when consumption increases?

According to the law of declining marginal utility, when consumption rises, the marginal utility gained from each extra unit decreases, all other things being equal.

Why does marginal utility decrease as more is consumed?

  • Consumers will only purchase more of a specific good if the price drops since they get less satisfaction from consuming more units of that good.
  • Thus, the law of diminishing marginal value contributes to the understanding of the law of demand.

inysia [295]

Answer: Air travel is a normal good and vacation travel by car is an inferior good

Explanation: What is a normal good and what is an inferior good.

Normal goods are those goods for which the demand rises as consumer income rises. While inferior goods are goods whose demand increases when consumer income decreases.

This therefore means that the demand of inferior goods is inversely related to the income of the consumer.

From the question above, we can say that car trips are inferior goods while the air travel are normal goods.

Lelu [443]

Answer and explanation:

Externalized costs are costs that the society pays that are generated by producers and the consumers of the product. The common example is the use of petrol. If I own a car and I don't like riding bicyle for smaller distances, this means the Carbon dioxie emission caused due to me have to be born by the society. This means that the net effect would be a loss to society caused by the usage of products that are injurious to our ecosystem.

UK has targeted to achieve zero Carbon dioxide emission by 2050, which shows their commitment to social responsibility and we keep dumping things in the oceans because nobody acknowlegdes the damage caused by using plastic made products and also not recycling it. After plastic into the oceans the marine life suffers. The Carbon Dioxide emission is one of the main reasons why the glaciers are melting and many animals are dying annually. We unaware with our responsibilities to our society and love profits no matter if someone dies or get harmed by the operations of the company or using products that have greater externalized costs.

Q. A country's comparative advantage in the extraction of commodities most likely stems from its: A. high labour to capital rati
Andru [333]

Answer:

B. large amount of natural resources

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is a country's ability to produce a product or service for a lower opportunity cost than rival countries.  Opportunity costs are the benefits given up in the extraction process. If a  country has a large amount of natural resources, it will use fewer resources in the extraction process than other countries. The trade-off costs will be so little compared to the benefits.

Other countries will find it cheaper to import from a country with large natural resources. For example, oil-rich nations have a comparative advantage in the extraction and processing of oil and oil by-products.
