Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The marginal utility from consuming the sixth taco is zero, as it is where the marginal utility curve intersects the x-axis. Therefore, consuming the sixth taco would not provide any additional utility and would not be the best choice. The best choice would be to consume either the fifth or seventh taco, where the marginal utility is at its highest.
