1. The _________________is an artificial unit by which utility is measured.
2. The change in total utility due to a one-unit change in quantity consumed is called _____________________.
3. __________________analysis is the study of what happens when small changes take place relative to the status quo.
4. If marginal utility is positive, total utility must _____________; if marginal utility is negative, total utility must _________; if marginal utility falls (but is positive) then total utility must _________________at a decreasing rate.
5. Economists maintain that as more of a good or service is consumed, per unit of time, the marginal benefit ___________; therefore before buyers will purchase more and more of a good, its price must ____________.
