To determine

The effect on marginal utility from food consumption, as people consume more food due to lower prices

Concept Introduction:

As a man builds utilization of an item while keeping utilization of different items steady, there is a decrease in the marginal utility that individual gets from devouring each extra unit of that item. This is known as the law of diminishing marginal utility. The law of reducing marginal utility straightforwardly identifies with the idea of lessening costs. As the utility of an item diminishes as its utilization builds, purchasers will pay littler dollar sums for a greater amount of the item. For instance, an individual pay $100 for a vacuum cleaner. Since he has little value for another vacuum cleaner, the same individual will pay $20 for a new vacuum cleaner. The law of decreasing marginal utility straightforwardly impacts an organization's pricing on the grounds that the cost charged for a thing must compare to the shopper's marginal utility and ability to devour or use the good.
