After having your fifteenth candy bar we can assess that you would have? a. negative utility b. high utility c. low utility d. a sixteenth candy bar

The correct answer is: "negative utility".

The utility of the first candy, the satisfaction that the consumer gained when eating the bar is very large . Absolute utility continues growing with each extra bar eaten, although the size of the utility increase is lower from the 3rd to the 4th bar, than from the 1st to the 2nd. Absolute utility grows because more utility is accumulated by each extra bar eaten, but marginal utility gained by passing from one to the next is lower each time.

If the amount of bars consumed is extremely large it can end up generating negative utility. It means that the extra bars up a point, do not bring satisfaction but insatisfacion. In this example, it is easy to imagine the stomachache you might probably have after eating 15 chocolate bars. and hence the negative satisfaction that the consumer would experience.

well, paralell is parallel. i am providing links to .

hope this !

a series circuit is one with all the loads in a row. there is only one path for the electricity to flow. if this circuit was a string of light bulbs, and one blew out, the remaining bulbs would turn off.

unlike in series circuits, a charge in a parallel circuit encounters a single voltage drop during its path through the external circuit. the current through a given branch can be predicted using the ohm's law equation and the voltage drop across the resistor and the resistance of the resistor.

a parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: a parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit.
