With diminishing marginal utility, if a consumer reduces her consumption of a good, then her marginal utility from that good would increase.

Question

Nicholas Chung · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : True, Explanation :  Diminishing marginal utility means that as a consumer consumes more of a good, the additional satisfaction (marginal utility) from consuming an extra unit of the good decreases. Conversely, if consumption decreases, the marginal utility from consuming the next unit increases, because the consumer is moving back up along the curve of diminishing marginal utility.

With diminishing marginal utility, if a consumer reduces her consumption of a good, then her marginal utility from that good would increase.
