Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the table, the marginal utility of the fourth slice is 5 utils, which is positive but decreasing. Therefore, Josh should stop at the third slice since the marginal utility of the fourth slice is less than that of the third slice. Any further consumption would result in diminishing marginal utility, implying reduced satisfaction.
