A woman eats two bananas during a particular day.The marginal benefit she enjoys from eating the second banana

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The marginal benefit is the additional benefit that is derived from consuming an additional unit of a good or service. In this case, the marginal benefit of the second banana is the total benefit that is derived from consuming two bananas minus the total benefit that would have been derived from consuming just one banana. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because the marginal benefit does not determine the marginal cost, the marginal cost is the cost of producing an additional unit of a good. Option C is incorrect because the marginal benefit is dependent on the number of units consumed.
