Our basic needs are simple, but our additional
individual wants are often very complex.
Commodities of different kinds satisfy ourwants in different ways. A banana, a bottle of
medicine and a textbook satisfy very different
wants. The banana cannot satisfy the samewants as the textbook.
This characteristic of satisfying a want is known
in economics as its utility (kegunaan).Utility, however, should not be confused with
usefulness kegunaan!.

"or example, a submarine kapal selam! may or
may not be useful in time of peace, but it
satisfies a want. #any nations want submarines.$conomists say that utility determines %the
relationship between a consumer and a
commodity barang keperluan!&.Utility varies between different people and
between different nations. A vegetarian does not
want meat, but may rate the utility of bananasvery highly, while a meat'eater may prefer
steak.

A mountain'republic like (wit)erland has little
interest in submarines, while maritime nations
rate them highly.
Utility varies not only in relation to individual
tastes and to geography, but also in relation to
time. *n wartime, the utility of bombs is high,and the utility of pianos is low. Utility is
therefore related to our decisions about
priorities in production + particularly in acentrally + planned economy. The production of
pianos falls sharply in wartime.

The utility of a commodity is also related to the
uantity which is available to the consumer. *f
paper goods! is freely available, people will notbe so interested in buying too much of it. *f
there is an excess berlebihan! of paper, the
relative demand for paper will go down. -e cansay that the utility of a commodity therefore
decreases as the consumers stock persediaan!
of that commodity increases.

*n economics, utility is a representation of
preferences kesukaan! over some set of goods
and services. /references have a utility

Utility is usually applied by economists in such
constructs as the indifference curve, which plot
the combination of commodities that anindividual or a society would accept to maintain
a given level of satisfaction. *ndividual utility
and social utility can be construed ditafsirkan!as the value of a utility function and a social
welfare function respectively masing'masing!.

*n microeconomic theory, an indifference
curve is a graph showing different bundles
buntelan! of goods between which a consumeris indifferent (The uality or state of being
indifferent, or not making a difference).That is,
at each point on the curve, the consumer has nopreference for one bundle over another. One can
euivalently refer to each point on the
indifference curve as rendering memberikan!
the same level of utility satisfaction! for the
consumer.

A graph of indifference curves for an individualconsumer associated with different utility levels
is called an indifference map. $ach point onthe curve represents the same elevationkenaikan!.
The higher you go the greater the level ofutility. The non'satiation puas! reuirementmeans that you will never reach the 0top,0 or a%bliss kebahagiaan! point&,

The main use of indifference curves is in therepresentation of potentially observable demand
patterns for individual consumers overcommodity bundles.
*n finance, utility is applied to generate anindividual1s price for an asset called theindiffrence price. Utility functions are alsorelated to risk measures ukuran!.

It was recognized that utility (Desire or Want)could not be measured or observed directly,
so economists devised (merencanakan) away to infer (kesimpulan) relative utilitiesfrom observed choice. hese !revealed(memperlihatkan) preferences!, as they were
named by "aul #amuelson, were revealed inpeople's willingness (kesanggupan) topay: for the ful$lment or satisfaction of hisdesire

+conomic theory asserts (menyatakan) thatin a free market economy the market pricere;ects interaction between supply anddemand / the price is set as to e:uate(menyamakan) the :uantity being suppliedand that being demanded. In turn(perubahan) these :uantities are determinedby the marginal utility of the asset todi>erent buyers and to di>erent sellers. Inreality, the price may be distorted (diganggu)by other factors, such as ta? and othergovernment regulations.

In economics, the marginal utilityof a goodor service is the gain (or loss) from an increase(or decrease) in the consumption of that goodor service. +conomists sometimes speak of alaw o diminising marginal utility,meaning that the $rst unit of consumption of agood or service yields (hasil) more utility thanthe second and subse:uent (berikutnya) units,with a continuing reduction for greateramounts. he marginal decision rulestatesthat a good or service should be consumed ata :uantity at which the marginal utility ise:ual to the marginal cost.
