The amount by which an additional unit of a good or service increases a consumer’s total utility, all other things unchanged, is:
The marginal utility for the second unit is:
The marginal utility for the sixth unit is: The amount by which total utility rises when an additional unit of a good is consumed is called:
Assume that the price of good X is $1 per unit and the price of good Y is $2 per unit, and you consume 4 units of good X and 2 units of good Y. To maximize utility, assuming that the goods are divisible, you would consume: Which of the following equals marginal utility per $1?

Total utility is maximized when marginal utility per additional dollar spent is the same for all goods
