4. Newspaper vending machines are often built so that customers can pay to lift a door and take a paper off a pile of daily newspapers. Newspaper distributors are not concerned about customers taking the whole stack of papers because
A) the total utility of a daily newspaper is zero
B) the marginal utility of any one daily newspaper is zero
C) the marginal utility of a second daily newspaper is zero
D) the price of a daily newspaper is relatively low
5.Based on the material presented in the utility chapter, can we conclude that people will consume goods until the marginal utility of each good is zero?
A) Yes, because at that point total utility is maximum.
B) Yes, because at that point marginal utility is minimum.
C) No, because consumption is determined by total utility.
