If we have money, we buy goods and services to satisfy our needs. In economics, thesatisfaction that we get from the consumption of goods and services is called utility. Usea utility graph to explain what happen to the utility when you keep on increasing thenumber of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the utility when you keep onincreasing the number of units consumed. Also explain what happens to the additionalutility (i.e. additional satisfaction) when you increase your consumption by one unit
