    No, he doesn't show diminishing marginal utility. Yes, he shows increasing marginal utility for Coke.

    Explanation:

    The law of diminishing returns states that the marginal or addition satisfaction or utility derived from the consumption of a product increase until a pint and then starts to decrease.

    Units Total utility Marginal utility

    1 10 10

    2 25 15

    3 50 25

    After 3 bottles, John does not show diminishing marginal utility as the marginal utility (as shown above) continues to increase with each additional bottle of coke consumed.
