a. The more economics classes Al takes, the more he enjoys the subject. And the more classes he takes, the easier each one gets, making him enjoy each additional class even more than the one before.

b. Allikes loud music, In fact, according to him, “the louder, the better.” Each time he turns the volume up a notch, he adds 5 utils to his total utility. c.Al enjoys watching reruns of the X Files. He claims that these episodes are always exciting, but he does admit that the more times he sees an episode, the less exciting it gets.

d. Al loves toasted marshmallows. The more he eats, however, the fuller he gets and the less he enjoys each additional marshmallow. And there is a point at which he becomes satiated: beyond that point, more marshmallows actually make him feel worse rather than better.
