The law of equimarginal efficiency deals with the distribution of the limited amount of resources among different enterprises. The law states that “profits are maximized by using a resource in such a way that the marginal returns of that resource are equal in all cases” The table above shows that the investment of 3000 rupees gives the maximum average returns of sugarcane enterprises. But if a farmer invests his amount of Rs. 3000 taking into account the additional yields, he can earn the profit as shown below. Thus, the total returns and net profits of Rs 4200 and Rs 1200 respectively are higher than the net returns and profits of Rs 4025 and Rs 1025 respectively. Therefore, in order to maximize returns, resource allocation should be based on additional yields rather than average returns. Practical Use: This law guides the farmer in planning his budget for the preparation of his crop plan. It also provides guidance for the introduction of diversified or specialized agriculture. It also makes it possible to determine the business relationship in a complementary or competitive manner. In other words, this law suggests that the limited resources available should be invested, taking into account the marginal (additional) returns we receive from this company and not our average returns. The following example illustrates this.
A farmer has 3000 rupees and wants to grow sugar cane, wheat and cotton suitable for his agricultural situation. How much money should be spent on each business to get the highest profit?

For example, if A is willing to pay Rs 25 for a packet of biscuit that actually costs him Rs 20, then Rs 5 is called the marginal consumer surplus (MCS) 10 Law of the principle of decreasing marginal utility of decreasing marginal utility: the more a person consumes of a product, the smaller the additional benefit obtained by another unit. Or if more units of a good are consumed, the additional units offer less additional satisfaction than the previous units. Request: The utilitarian side of the market. 2 Law of demand Law of demand People do less of what they want to do because the cost goes up Remember. Thus, the investment would take into account the additional return.
4 To see the purpose of this, let`s say that the last unit of Apple you consumed provided three times more benefits than the last unit of Orange. Thus, a consumer gain by increasing Apple`s consumption, thus reducing Orange. At some point, the same consumer starts consuming orange because he has achieved maximum satisfaction from eating apple (DMU enforcement) Now the apple MU decreases and leads to an increase in the orange MU. This process of subsitution continues until Apple MU = Orange MU also with the same price. 11 MU consumed by biscuit consumptionPackets of biscuits TU in utils MU in utils – 1 7 2 11 4 3 13 14 5 6 -1 2 Law of equimarginal utility The maximum satisfaction of the expenditure of a given sum can be obtained if the utility resulting from the last unit of money spent on each item of expenditure, more or less the same. Illustration: – Suppose a man goes to the market with 400 rupees in his pocket, which he wants to spend on oranges, grapes and bananas and more. Let us suppose that the profit he expects from each unit of 25 rupees spent on these goods is as follows. 12 Using the infinitesimal calculus to derive the MU functionThe typical utility function of a consumer for a good could have the following form: TU=60Q-4Q² where Q is the quantity of goods consumed Tabular by creating a table for TU marginal utility is the first derivative of total utility dTU MU====60 -8Q dQ Objectives: Use the utility maximization model, Explain how consumers choose goods and services. Use the concept of utility to explain how the law. 7 Rs.25 Object of expenditure Derived utility 1.

TCS = UT – TE 16 Marginal utility and demand curve of the goodThe price elasticity of demand reflects the rate at which the UM is decreasing. If there are tight substitutes for a good, it is likely to have elastic demand, and its MU will slowly decrease as consumption increases. It is likely that the UM of money will decrease as income increases. 3 The optimal quantity of two alternatives consumed (or produced) will be whether the marginal utility ratios of the two alternatives are equal to their marginal cost ratios: MBa MCa = MBb MCb ASKS BY ALANNA SMYTH.
