b) Personal Computers : have been facing taste changes against them because of convenience associated with portable laptops . This leads to decrease in demand (demand curve leftward shift ) and excess supply creates competition among sellers & reduces price.

Serga [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": A and C.

Explanation:

Utility is the satisfaction or joy an individual perceives by consuming a given good or service. Marginal utility is the satisfaction perceived by consuming one more unit of a good or receiving a service one more time. Total utility is the aggregate utility as a result of adding the number of goods or services consumed.

<em>When marginal utility starts falling, total utility could still be rising since even if the consumer is not enjoying the same way the consumption of a good the individual is still adding more units to the consumption. However, there will a point in which the consumption of the good will not represent any satisfaction to the individual not adding more units anymore, thus, total utility starts dropping.</em>
