Explain utility and the law of diminishing marginal utility, then draw this graph.
Then explain that as according to every successive consumption of a good, the Marginal utility falls. Now according to demand curve, a consumer would be ready to pay less for a product which yields less satisfaction compared to the previous one consumed. Due to this, the demand curve is downward sloping.
Now you can explain how this is not true in case the good is a luxury or explain paradox of value by Adam smith.


thanks a lot....

so for a luxury good, as consumption increases the marginal utility increases? the diagram will be the opposite?

Yup. If I give you a diamond, you'd be very happy but if I give you 2 diamonds, you'd be even happier. :p
There would not be a diagram for this because this renders the law of diminishing marginal utility invalid.

I haven't done too many Past Papers on Economics P4 other than the last couple of years.

Could anyone tell me if there are similar questions for Section B that have repeated over the years or on what "Chapters" do they mostly come on?

Just a general idea or is it completely random questions each year for Section B? :S
Any help is much appreciated. :)

Can you also tell how to answer this question:

How is the interest rate determined in the money market and how it may change. Explain the loanable fund theory in this regard. [13]

Explain what is interest rate.
Thinks which make it changed such as Crowding out in a fiscal policy or the supply and demand for money.
Explain demand and supply of loanable funds and how they may change.
Draw the graph of loanable funds theory.find it on net...
Give a scenario or two and explain determination of interest rate.conclude.
