Suppose there are only two goods in the world, x and y. Assume the consumer has spent all their money so they are on their budget line. Holding everything else constant, if your current allocation gives you a result such that MUx/Px > MUy/Py, your consumption of good y should __ and therefore, the MUy will ___

Consumption of good y should decrease

The Marginal Utility should also decrease

Explanation:

Marginal utility of a good is the added satisfaction that a consumer gets from consuming additional units of the good.

Given the two goods x and y, and MUx/Px > MUy/Py.

The Marginal Utility Price Ratio indicates the Utility/Satisfaction derived from the last Dollars spent.

To allocate a budget efficiently, the marginal utility for each item should be equal.

A good has a higher marginal utility-price ratio is the good that the consumer should consume more of.

If the Marginal Utility-Price ratio of good x is greater than that of good y, your consumption of good y should decrease and therefore, the MUy will also decrease.
