Part 1

Given the quantity of total movie tickets and total concession stand items consumed in a month and the total utility derived at Ruby Red Movie Theater for each, calculate the marginal utility and the marginal utility per dollar for movie tickets and average concession stand items.

Step 1:Calculate marginal utility and marginal utility per dollar for movie tickets.

Quantity of Tickets Consumed	Total Utility		Marginal Utility		Movie Ticket Price		Marginal Utility Per Dollar for Movie Tickets
0	0		---		---		---
200	150		150/200+0.75		$10.00		0.75/10=0.075
400	275		(275-150)/(400-200)=125/200=0.625		$10.00		0.625/10=0.0625
600	375		(375-275)/(600-400)=100/200=0.5		$10.00		0.5/10=0.05
800	450		(450-375)/(800-600)=75/200=0.375		$10.00		0.375/10=0.0375
1,000	500		(500-450)/(1000-800)=50/200=0.25		$10.00		0.25/10=0.025
			(525-500)/(1200-1000)=25/200=0.125
1,200	525				$10.00		0.125/10=0.0125
1,400	525		(525-525)/(140-1200)=0/200=0		$10.00		0/10=0
