Topic: Utility


  
 Utility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Utility was originally viewed as a measurable quantity, so that it would be possible to measure the utility of each individual in the society with respect to each good available in the society, and to add these together to yield the total utility of all people with respect to all goods in the society.
The concept is applied by economists in such topics as the indifference curve, which plots the combination of commodities that an individual or a community requires to maintain a given level of satisfaction.
Cardinal utility quantitatively measures the preference of an individual towards a certain commodity.

 Marginalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marginal utility, or marginal benefit, is the additional utility (satisfaction or benefit) that a consumer derives from an additional unit of a commodity or service (output).
In economics, marginalism is the theory that economic value results from marginal utility and marginal cost (the marginal concepts).
Whatever the neurological basis, the result of diminishing marginal utility is that rather than having a lot of one good or a lot of another one, one prefers having some of both.

 Intuitions about declining marginal utility
The measure of declining marginal utility was the utility difference between the utilities of the highest and lowest pairs of quantities of goods, e.g., the utility difference between 50 and 60 years life expectancy minus the utility difference between 75 and 85 years.
The second consequence of declining marginal utility is that it provides at least a partial account for the value of equality in utilitarian terms.
Given that declining marginal utility is so prevalent, it shouldn't be at all surprising if people tend to internalize the fact of declining marginal utility in their everyday decisions and judgments.

 UTILITY
MARGINAL UTILITY is the change in utility due to a one unit change in the quantity of a good or service consumed.
Marginal utility is the change in utility due to a one-unit change in the quantity consumed.
i.e., the expected utility of the lottery to the risk-prone decision maker is larger than the utility of the expected value of the consequence.

 Gazette.com
Utility officials said retailers and other businesses that accept credit cards price their goods and services to cover the cost of card fees.
Utility executives decided doing that would be unfair to customers who pay by cash or check, especially in an era when utility rates have been rising to pay for upgrades and additions to facilities.
But the utility has seen an increase of 45 percent in the use of credit card payments this year, and that has driven up the credit card fees the utility has been charged.

 Chapter 757 — Utility Regulation Generally
Any such interim increase for a public utility as defined in ORS 757.005 that produces, transmits, delivers or furnishes heat, light or power shall be effected by rates designed to increase the utility’s revenues without materially changing the revenue relationships among customer classes or between the revenues derived from demand charges and from energy charges.
The schedule may include provisions for the payment of the rates or charges over a period of time and for the application of the payment obligation to successive property owners or customers at the premises where the conservation measures or services were installed or performed or with respect to which the conservation payments were made.
The Public Utility Commission has power to require any public utility, after a public hearing of all parties interested, to extend its line, plant or system into, and to render service to, a locality not already served when the existing public convenience and necessity requires such extension and service.
