Economics/P2 11 NW/June 2024 Grade 11 4.3 Study the extract below and answer the questions that follow. JOHN BATES CLARK, MARGINAL UTILITY Give to a man one unit of the article A, and then another and another, till he has ten of them. While each of the articles in the series may do him some good, the amount of the benefit will steadily diminish, as the number of the articles grows larger, and the tenth one will benefit him least of all. In order to add to his stock of A, the man will never sacrifice more than what is, in his view, a fair offset for the benefit that he will get from the tenth and last unit of it. In order that an article may be wealth at all, each unit of the supply of it must, as we have seen, be of some importance to its owner. The law that we have just cited marks the last unit of the supply as the least important unit. [Source: https://www.econlib.org] 4.3.1 Name the economic concept explained in the extract above.
