defention of utility, the German economist Hermann Heinrich Gossen introduced the term marginal utility and the law of diminishing marginal utility. The term marginal utility is defined as “the pleasure or pain from an additional unit or ‘dose’ of a good.” The introduction of marginal utility to economic thought and vocabulary was revolutionary, reducing the need to measure total pleasure or pain because “Even if marginal utilities were measured on a cardinal scale, they would tell us nothing about how
can now analyze if ticket demand is elastic, unit elastic or inelastic. II. Elastic Demand Analysis Applying what is known about micro economic theory we can equate that in a MLB team 's local market the team is a single product firm and that it will maximize profits when the additional cost of production is equal to the added revenue from selling the product (marginal cost = marginal revenue). When a team sells more tickets, its revenue will increase, unless the team decreases ticket prices to
in “the woods” (44). Fraizer and his friends spent most of their time in their margins also known as stomping ice in “the woods”. Fraizer says that marginal place and activities are “the most important kind” (46) because they are “where you can try out odd ideas”. Margins could be visiting a park, a friend’s house, a dance studio or even a football field, also doing things such as swinging on a tire, reading, watching movies, dancing or playing a sport.

The concept implies that the utility or benefit to a consumer of an additional unit of a product is inversely related to the number of units of that product he already owns.

contextual variables and objectives. This section explores these variables and thus provides a critical assessment of the roles and uses of the techniques. Economic rationale From a public sector economic rational point of view, Bergman (2009) argues that marginal costing is superior to absorption costing to the extent that a public entity has access to tax revenues (i.e. subsidies) to cover for a large part of its fixed costs. This argument has resonance in sectors such as education or health. In France,

Introduction Using chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agricultural sectors is rapidly growing by the passage of time. This is useful in some aspects of this sector as it helps to preserve various items fresh. But is it always good enough for us to use these things?

The chemicals and pesticides we use in this process are so detrimental to human health that various diseases are happening to humans due to these usages. Even death

demand of the physicians depends on several factors such as needs of the population, some of the economic constraints of the people such as their income level and prices they are facing, other technological constraints related to the feasibility of what the consumers demand and last but not the least, the cultural considerations. The final demand of health care physicians depends on the interactions of demand and supply conditions prevailing in the market of services. According to the report, there
