The table below shows the total utility ( $TU$ ) and marginal utility ( $MU$ ) derived by a consumer from consuming successive slices of meat pie:
Slices Consumed ( $Q$ ) Total Utility ( $TU$ ) in utils Marginal Utility ( $MU$ ) in utils
1 18 18
2 32 14
3 42 10
4 48 $X$
5 48 0
6 40 -8
What is the value of $X$ , representing the marginal utility derived from the $4^{\text{th}}$ slice of meat pie?
