Consumption Behavior on a Desert Island

Imagine a person is stranded on a desert island where there is an unlimited and easily accessible supply of a single type of food: coconuts. Analyze how the satisfaction this person derives from consuming coconuts is likely to change over the course of a single day. In your analysis, compare the satisfaction gained from the first coconut consumed to the satisfaction gained from the tenth coconut consumed on the same day. Explain the underlying economic principle that governs this change in satisfaction.
