Suppose an individual in the Grossman model is trying to decide what to have for dinner. His options are as below. Each dish has an effect on the level of home good Z and health H. Home good Z Мeal Steak and eggs (A) Kale salad with broccoli (B) Entire box of cookies (C) Health H +7 -2 -2 +5 +10 -20 Suppose the dinner's single-period utility function is U=3Z+H • If the individual is trying to maximize his single-period utility, and he can only select one item from the table (assuming he can afford any item in the table). Which meal would he choose? Please type in A, B, or C (do not enter space, punctuation, or any other symbols or words) • A miracle pill is discovered that halves the negative health impact of cookies. How does this impact the individual's choice? What meal would be chosen now? Please type in A, B, or C (do not enter space, punctuation, or any other symbols or words) • If the individual lives in multi-period rather than single-period, would he value Z or H more in multi-period?

Form Utility

The term utility in general refers to the satisfaction earned from usage of a particular product or service. Utility always plays an important role because it influences various important elements like demand & thereby the price of the good or service as well. Though utility is not easy to measure, various types of economic models can be used indirectly. There can be various types of utilities like economic utility, marginal utility, cardinal utility, form utility.
