Answer to Question 1

Demand curves will be downward sloping because of the law of diminishing marginal utility. Individuals will compare the value of the marginal utility they receive from a good with its price: if the value of the good is higher or equal to the price, the individual will purchase it. Thus, a person will buy more of a good at a low price than at a high price.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
