1 How do you know when one more is too much?

2 Marginal utility is the extra value or additional satisfaction a consumer obtains from consuming one additional unit of output.

3 Diminishing marginal utility is when the additional satisfaction or marginal utility associated with consuming additional units of the same product in a given amount of time eventually declines.

4 Marginal analysis is a decision-making tool for comparing the additional or marginal benefits of a course of action to the additional or marginal costs.

6 Marginal product is the additional output produced by each successive unit of an input.

7 The law of diminishing returns states that as more units of a variable input are added to one or more fixed inputs, eventually the number of additional units of output produced will begin to fall.

8 Marginal cost is the increase in a producer’s total cost when it increases its output by one unit.
