TOTD: Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility

LAW OF DIMINISHING MARGINAL UTILITY:
A principle stating that as the quantity of a good consumed increases, eventually each additional unit of the good provides less additional utility--that is, marginal utility decreases. Each subsequent unit of a good is valued less than the previous one. The law of diminishing marginal utility helps to explain the negative slope of the demand curve and the law of demand.
