Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The marginal utility from consuming the fifth beer is the change in total utility from consuming 5 beers minus the change in total utility from consuming 4 beers. From the table, we can see that the total utility from consuming 5 beers is 69 utils and the total utility from consuming 4 beers is 65 utils. Therefore, the marginal utility from consuming the fifth beer is 69 utils - 65 utils = 4 utils.
