You maximize utility when marginal utility divided by the price of product A is equal to the marginal utility divided by the price of product B. MUa/Pa=MUb/Pb or MUa/MUb= Pa/Pb
Profits will be maximized when marginal revenue is equal to marginal costs. This will only happen in cases where there are fixed costs.
Profit is maximized on a graph where the marginal cost curve intersects the marginal revenue curve.
Total product is the sum of all marginal products.

Average Product = (Total Product) / (Labor) Marginal Product(2) = (Total Product)(2) - (Total Product)(1)
Negative
When the total product is increasing but at a decreasing rate, the marginal product will also decrease.
when the marginal benefit of consumption is equal to the marginal cost of production.
