An economy is an area of the production, distribution and trade, as well as consumption of goods and services by different agents. In general, it is defined 'as a social domain that emphasize the practices, discourses, and material expressions associated with the production, use, and management of resources'.

Move him to a new equilibrium on a lower indifference curve.
Make his indifference curves steeper, but will not alter the equilibrium position.
Have no effect on the equilibrium position because product prices have not changed.
Move him to a new equilibrium on a higher indifference curve.

Is easy to quantify.
Rarely varies from person to person.

Rate this question:
Takes more and more resources to produce successive units of it.
Violates the law of demand.
Satisfies consumer wants.
Is useful
Rate this question:
Total utility is maximized when consumers obtain the same amount of utility per unit of each product consumed.
Beyond some point additional units of a product will yield less and less extra satisfaction to a consumer.
Price must be lowered to induce firms to supply more of a product.
It will take larger and larger amounts of resources beyond some point to produce successive units of a product.

Rate this question:
Negative.
Positive and increasing.

Rate this question:
Is equal to total utility divided by the number of units consumed.
Is equal to total utility if the demand curve is linear.
Increases as more of a product is consumed.
Diminishes as more of a product is consumed.
Rate this question:
There is no firm mathematical relationship between marginal utility and total utility.
Total utility is equal to the change in marginal utility from consuming an additional unit of a product.
If marginal utility is diminishing and is a positive amount, total utility will increase.
If marginal utility is diminishing, total utility must also be diminishing.
Rate this question:
