Assumption and Importance of the Law of Equi-Marginal Utility

Assumption of the Law:

The law of equi-marginal utility is based on the following assumptions;
  • The consumer is a rational economic man who seeks to maximize his total satisfaction.
  • Utility is measurable in cardinal terms. 
  • The consumer has a given scale of preference for the goods in consideration. He has perfect knowledge of utility derived. 
  • Prices of goods are unchanged. 
  • Income of the consumer is fixed. 

Note: This is published for the internal use (of St. Philomena's College students) only and hence requires verification.
