To remain in consumer​ optimum, a price decrease requires(blank) in consumption. A price increase requires(blank)in consumption. Each change in price has a substitution effect. When the price of a good (blank)the consumer(blank) in favor of that relatively cheaper good. Each change in price also has a ​real-income effect. When price(blank) ​the​ consumer's real purchasing power​ increases, causing the consumer to purchase(blank) of most goods. Assuming that the principle of diminishing marginal utility​ holds, the demand curve must slope downward. The price of water is lower than the price of diamonds because people consume (blank)water than​ diamonds, which results in a (blank) marginal utility of water compared with the marginal utility of diamonds.
