Answer:

The answer is: remain the same

Explanation:

The marginal utility of a good or service is how much better we feel when consuming an extra unit of that good or service. For example if we are very thirsty, the marginal utility of consuming a can of Coke is very large, but once our thirst is quenched, an extra can of Coke will not provide use with that much satisfaction as before.

If the price of a substitute good increases, the marginal utility of the good whose price didn't change, will remain the same.

Let's go back to the Coke example. An extra can of Coke will give me 5 more satisfaction units (I'm assuming I can measure satisfaction) and an extra slice of pizza will give me 7 more units of satisfaction. If the price of Coke increases from 50 cents to $1, its marginal utility will decrease. I will buy more pizza because the satisfaction I get from drinking Coke is now smaller.

Explain the downside of social media for sports and entertainment marketers
vivado [14]

Answer: Athletes and entertainers must be very careful to think before they tweet or post anything to other social media sites. Because of the immediacy of this type of interaction and the high visibility of celebrities, one social media post could cause a whole lot of damage. Many celebrities have found this out firsthand. Take, for example, the case of Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA Dallas Mavericks. After his team got beat, he used his Twitter account to let off some steam at the referees who apparently—he thought—made some bad calls. His public venting cost him $25,000 in fines from the NBA. When he was notified about the fine, Cuban again used Twitter to vent, posting the following tweet on his profile: “can’t say no one makes money from twitter now. the nba does.”
