Answer:

1) Utility is the ability of a good or service to provide benefits or benefits or

satisfaction to the people who consume it. The higher the utility of a
good or service, the more desirable that good or service is by someone.

As humans who have unlimited needs, while the resources we have are
limited, of course we will think about how to maximize the resources we
have so that we can achieve maximum satisfaction.

Without us realizing it sometimes we spend money on something that is

not useful, and of course this will cause chaos in our economy. Many
experts claim that the use value of an item (Utility) is a measure of
consumer happiness. The size of the level of consumer satisfaction
depends on the amount of goods and services that he is able to consume.

Example: In the early era of the pandemic, most people needed masks,
therefore the price of masks at that time was very high
