Meaning and Measurement of Utility

  • Utility refers to the want-satisfying power of a commodity.
  • It is a subjective concept—different people derive different utility from the same good.
  • Utility can be measured using two approaches: Cardinal and Ordinal.
2

Types of Utility

  • There are four main types of utility: Form, Place, Time, and Service.
  • Form Utility: Created when a product is transformed into a useful shape (e.g., wood into furniture).
  • Place Utility: Generated by moving goods to where they are needed (e.g., rice from farm to market).

Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility

  • As a consumer consumes more units of a good, the additional satisfaction (marginal utility) decreases.

  • Assumes rational behavior, constant income, and no change in tastes.
4

Law of Equi-marginal Utility
