Question
Utility means not usefulness.
✓
Answer
Yes, I agree with this statement. Utility indicates the power of a good to satisfy human wants irrespective of whether it is good or bad or harmful. Whereas usefulness means that the commodity is beneficial or desirable. A commodity may have utility but may not be useful e.g., Cigarette is injurious to health. It is not useful but it has utility to a smoker.
