Answer to Question 1

In-kind transfer payments come in the form of goods and services, while cash transfer payments are in the form of money. In terms of utility of the recipient, cash transfer payments will always be at least as in-kind payments. In most cases, cash transfer payments will be preferred for two main reasons. Most importantly, individuals know their utility functions best and thus will be able to put the income to the use they value the highest. Of secondary concern is that the administrative costs of cash transfers are usually lower than the administrative costs of in-kind payments. Adding everything up, cash transfers are preferable to in-kind payments.
