P 1 D P 2 Diminishing Marginal Utility • • QD 1 Each additional P 1 D P 2 Diminishing Marginal Utility • • QD 1 Each additional unit of an item purchased gives less marginal utility (happy points) than the previous unit. Therefore, the only way I will buy more is if the price is lower. Ex. When I’m hungry, I typically will buy 2 breakfast tacos. The reason I don’t buy a third taco is because the marginal utility of the third taco is less than the price of the taco. But, if the price of the taco is less than the marginal utility of the taco, then I will buy the third taco © 2007 Thomson South-Western
