The marginal rate of substitution measures the: extra utility that a consumer derives from successive units of a product. consumer's willingness to substitute one product for another so that total utility will remain constant. magnitude of the substitution effect. total utility received by a consumer when equilibrium is achieved.
Diminishing marginal rate of substitution for a good means:
I.
decreasing the quantity of a good that the consumer would give up for one more additional quantity of the other good
II.
increasing the quantity of a good that the consumer would give up for one more additional quantity of the other good
III.
no change for the quantity of a good that the consumer would give up for one more additional quantity of the other good
IV.
all answers are correct
Assume the price of product Y (the quantity of which is on the vertical axis) is $10 and the price of product X (the quantity of which is on the horizontal axis) is $5. Also assume that money income is $30. The absolute value of the slope of the resulting budget line is
