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.
