Explanation / Answer

Diminishing marginal utility occurs when the additional utility for each good declines as consumption increases. In July 2012, it cost $125 to purchase a ticket to visit the parks at Disneyland for one day. A five-day pass to the same parks cost only $290. Disneyland charges less for additional days because of diminishing marginal utility. As per the law of diminishing marginal utility addtitional unit will give lower satisfaction and the consumer will buy only if the price is lowered. The additional satisfaction derived from consuming one more unit of a good or service is called marginal utility Everyone receives different levels of satisfaction from the same good or service.
