Definition of Law of Diminishing marginal utility

The law of diminishing marginal utility has been defined as a fundamental that is being used to analyse the utility of a single consumer in the market. Kauder (2015) stated that in the market it is so much important to know the utility scale of a single customer to analyse the further production of final products.

Definition of Law of Diminishing marginal utility

The above chart is representing the law of diminishing marginal utility under which it has been derived that with every single purchase of a commodity the utility level of the consumer also increased (Alvino et al. 2018). As what has been shown in the above chart that after purchasing every single unit of the commodity, the marginal utility is slopping down. The marginal utility is slopping down because, after every purchase of the single unit of the commodity, the utility of the consumer diminished because they are satisfied.

The above graph is representing the law of diminishing marginal utility in diagrammatic form, under which it has been derived that with every single purchase of a commodity the utility level of the consumer also increased (Business Jargons, 2018). As what has been shown in the above chart that after purchasing every single unit of the commodity, the marginal utility is slopping down. As per the graph, TU is increasing and in against MU is slopping down. The AU is diminished with an average rate, but MU is reducing at diminishing rate. When TU is reached thepeak, the MU reached zero and then TU increase at diminishing rate, and MU slops down to the negative axis.

Assumptions

Conclusion

Budget preparation is one of the significant aspects for an organisation to gain success and achieve the desired profit. However, during the preparation of the budget, it is essential to consider the factors like cost variances and budget variances. These two factors are considered to be significant in deviation of the estimated budget from the final one. If the variances factors are being forecasted in an accurate way then there will be minimum variance in the budget. If control can be gained over the cost variance then automatically the control will prevail on the budget variance. Thus the budget control can be established.

Willingness and ability

The term willingness and ability havebeen defined as how the organisation is performing in the market. The willingness has been defined as what an organisation can do to make their organisational goals and objectives possible in the market. The ability has been defined as the potential of the human resources of the organisation by the help of which the organisation is making its organisational plan and policies certain in the market.

Discussion

The term willingness and ability havebeen defined as how the organisation is performing in the market. The willingness has been defined as what an organisation can do to make their organisational goals and objectives possible in the market. Chumg et al. (2015) stated that the willingness of the organisation is dependable over the resources of the organisation by the help of which the organisation is performing in the market the statement has deduced that in the market the major goal of an organisation is to earn profit by making the customer satisfied. The statement has been even articulated that the organisation is planning better for developing its market strength.

The ability has been defined as the potential of the human resources of the organisation by the help of which the organisation is making its organisational plan and policies certain in the market. Baileyand Bridges (2016) stated that an organisation is so called to be able in the market when it is performing well in the market as per its business and marketing strategies. The statement has deduced that the ability of the organisation is highly dependable over the internal environment of the organisation as well as the culture of the organisation.

Law of Demand

The law of demand has been definedas the fundamental to define the relationship between demand and price of the commodity as well as demand and supply of the commodity in the market. The law of demand has been stated out that, in the market, the demand for the product is dependable over the price of the product. It has been assumedthat in the market if the price of the product or commodity rises in the market than the demand for the commodity will befall. On the other hand, the relationship between supply and demand for the product is negative. Increase in demand reduces the supply of the commodity and vice versa.

In the following figure, the nature of the law of demand has been defined, which has stated that the price of the commodity reflects the demand for a single commodity. It has been seen in the above figure that, if the price of the product or commodity rises by 1 – 2 unit than it is directly influenced the demand for that commodity in the market equivalently.

The economist of the organisations is always keeping this factor in their mind that at which rate the price of the product is rising in the market. Most of the organisations are following feedback technique in the organisation as well as in the market to measure the demand scale to analyse the demand for a single commodity in the market.

Price equilibrium is another factor that helps the organisation to set a par between demand and supply of the commodity in the market. The Price equilibrium has been defined as economic theory, under which the marketers are focusing on the stage, where for an equal price the demand and the supply of the commodity are equal (Economics for Breakfast, 2018). As what has been drawn in the above figure that, the price P and the quantity Q when equal the demand and supply of a commodity also remains equal. From this stage, any change in the price of the commodity would influence the demand for that commodity that will affect the price equilibrium.

In case of the chosen organisation, HSBC Bank might calculate their economic growth in the market. HSBC bank is providing random services to their customers, and hence these economic tools would be helpful for the organisation for calculating its economic growth in the current market and the future market.

Law of Demand

As per the above assumptions, it has been defined that in the market, every marketer or else the economist assumed that, the entire market would remain constant and the demand curve will not be affected. The fact is the market is always flexible because it is dependable over the taste and preference of the consumer (Lantos, 2015). The assumptions are stated to be false because this is impossible that customers will not change their demand quantity or consumption rate. The income level of the customer is the major factor that influenced the perception of the customers or consumers in the market. Further, that enforced the customers or consumers to change their taste and preferences regarding any single commodity. From the above discussion, it has been justified that, only based over the assumptions, the law of demand is a practical fundamental that is helpful for any of organisation to calculate the economic growth in the competitive market.
