You visit an animal shelter and are in a financial position to either adopt a single dog for $500 or donate the $500 to marginally improve the welfare for all dogs at the shelter by providing each dog with slightly better bedding and food. assume that by marginally increasing the welfare of the rest of the dogs in shelter, this enhances the likelihood that they will be adopted. of the options below, which is the best choice from an economics perspective and does it make a difference whether this is a “no-kill” shelter, where dogs’ lives would not be in danger without your assistance? again, there is no singularly correct response, but you need to clearly articulate why you chose that answer. also, think about which might be the most "economically sound" choice and if/why that might differ from your response, and how your knowledge of these economic theories might lend themselves to political interests and considerations. be sure to note any biases or assumptions of the question or your reasoning. donate the $500 to all the dogs. it doesn’t matter if it is a no-kill shelter or not, it is better to each animal a little bit than to just one a great deal. adopt the single dog. the increased you can give one animal does more good than a small amount of for all dogs in the shelter. donate the $500 to all of the dogs. the total amount of welfare given does depends on the shelter type.

Blue computers, a major pc manufacturer in the united states, currently has plants in kentucky and pennsylvania. the kentucky plant has a capacity of 1 million units a year and the pennsylvania plant has a capacity of 1.5 million units a year. the firm divides the united states into five markets: northeast, southeast, midwest, south, and west. each pc sells for $1,000. the firm anticipates a 50 perc~nt growth in demand (in each region) this year (after which demand will stabilize) and wants to build a plant with a capacity of 1.5 million units per year to accommodate the growth. potential sites being considered are in north carolina and california. currently the firm pays federal, state, and local taxes on the income from each plant. federal taxes are 20 percent of income, and all state and local taxes are 7 percent of income in each state. north carolina has offered to reduce taxes for the next 10 years from 7 percent to 2 percent. blue computers would like to take the tax break into consideration when planning its network. consider income over the next 10 years in your analysis. assume that all costs remain unchanged over the 10 years. use a discount factor of 0.1 for your analysis. annual fixed costs, production and shipping costs per unit, and current regional demand (before the 50 percent growth) are shown in table 5-13. (a) if blue computers sets an objective of minimizing total fixed and variable costs, where should they build the new plant? how should the network be structured?
