THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TOTAL UTULITY AND MARGINAL UTULITY

The relationship between TU and MU is such that: 
                • When TU is increasing, MU is decreasing. 
                • When TU is at the maximum, MU is zero. 
                • When TU is decreasing, MU is in negative.

 (Disutility) Consider the graph below for details:

IS - LM model

IS/ LM MODEL: GENERRAL EQUILIBRIUM OF PRODUCT AND MONEY MARKET This chapter integrates money, interest and income into a general equilibrium model of product and money markets in the Hicks-Hansen diagrammatic framework.  The IS = Investment/Saving which represents the product market equilibrium LM = Money demand (L)/ Money supply (M) which represents the money market equilibrium INTRODUCTION In order to analyze the general equilibrium of product and money markets, it is instructive to study the derivation of the IS/LM functions and their slopes for the understanding of the effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policies. The IS-LM curve model emphasizes the interaction between the goods and money markets.  Continue The product market is in equilibrium when desired saving and investment are equal. Saving is a direct function of the level of income : S = f(Y)…….(1) Investment is a decreasing function of the interest rate : I = f(r)……..(2) From (1)and (2) = I=S The produ...
