TU=sum of MU II. TU increases so long as MU is positive. III. When MU is zero‚ TU is maximum IV. When MU is negative‚ TU is diminishing. * The exponents of the utility analysis have developed two laws which occupy a very important place in economics theory and they are :- # Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility # Law of Equi-Marginal Utility Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility The additional benefit a person derives from a given increase of his stock of a thing diminishes

f(x1‚x2) = Ax^a1 x^b2‚ and provides us the utility function (Varian‚ 2010) and the graph shown in fig 3. For the production formula it would be Q=AK^ αL^β (Renshaw‚ 2009)as you can see both formulas are remarkably similar‚ as they both steam from the original theorem. So if we set A=10 and α= β=0.5‚ we get Q=10K^0.5L^0.5 now if we fix capital to say 49‚ just for the short run‚ we get Q=10(49)^0.5L^0.5 which we can rearrange so that we get Q=70L^0.5.
