Marginal utility analysis predicts a downward-sloping demand curve for good X because

▸ all demand curves are downward sloping, regardless of the behaviour of consumers.

▸ as PX falls, the ratio MUX/PX becomes smaller, causing the consumer to purchase more of good X.

▸ utility-maximizing consumers equate marginal utility received for each product consumed.

▸ as PX rises, the consumer increases purchases of X such that MUX/PX is equal to MU/P for all other products.

▸ as PX falls, the consumer increases purchases of X until MUX/PX is equal to MU/P for all other products.
