Law of equiproportional marginal benefit
From Conservapedia
The law of equiproportional marginal benefit recognizes that a rational consumer maximizes his utility by spending each dollar in a way to maximize marginal utility for that dollar. For such a consumer, the marginal utility of every good divided by that good’s price must be equal:
- MUx/Px = MUy/Py = MUz/Pz
where MUx is the marginal utility of good “x” and Px is the price of good “x”.
