1. **Describe the Relationship:**
MU_n = \frac{\Delta TU}{\Delta Q}
Where $Q$ is the quantity consumed.

2. **Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility:**
- Initially, each additional unit of the good consumed provides a positive but decreasing Marginal Utility.

3. **Graphical Representation:**
- Total Utility (TU) curve starts to rise but increases at a decreasing rate and eventually flattens out.
- Marginal Utility (MU) curve starts high and then decreases, intersecting the x-axis.

4. **Determine the Maximum Total Utility:**
- Total Utility is at its maximum when the slope of the Total Utility curve is zero. This occurs where Marginal Utility is zero.

5. **Mathematical Condition:**
- Setting $MU_n = \frac{\Delta TU}{\Delta Q} = 0$ gives us the maximum point of Total Utility.

\text{Total Utility is at its maximum when Marginal Utility (MU) equals zero.}

A construction company is working on two projects: house construction and building construction. Each house requires 4 weeks of work and produces a profit of $50,000. Each building requires 8 weeks of work and produces a profit of $100,000. The company has a total of 24 work weeks available. Furthermore, it is known that at least 2 houses and at least 1 building must be built to meet the demand. The company wants to maximize its profits and needs to determine how many houses and buildings it should build to meet demand and maximize profits, given time and demand constraints.
