School band members need to raise money for new uniforms. some members want to sell energy drinks at a football game, but others want to organize a car wash in the school parking lot. based on economics, what would be most influential in making the decision?
the labor needed
the consumer appeal
the capital needed
the value of the resources

The most influential factor in making the decision is the value of resources.

Further explanation:  

For school band members who want to raise money, the value of resources is the most important factor in decision making. School band members are not concerned about labor or intensive capital because they are themselves labor, and they are not doing highly technical work. They are not manufacturing some products due to which consumer appeal becomes less significant. The only significant factor in decision making is the value of resources.

Justification for the correct and incorrect

the labor needed: This option is incorrect.

School band members are themselves labor who can either sell energy drinks at a football game or do car wash in the school parking lot. In doing the car wash, the labor factor may be considered but not in the selling energy drinks work.

the consumer appeal: This option is incorrect.

School band members are not planning to do some manufacturing work for which they need to analyze consumer tastes and preferences. The consumer appeal is not a factor to be considered while deciding between selling energy drinks at a football game and the car wash in the school parking lot.

the capital needed: This option is incorrect.

This would not be most influential in making the decision. School band members do not need capital intensive tools either to sell energy drinks or to organize a car wash in the school parking lot.  

the value of resources: This option is correct.  

This will be the most influential in making the decision. School band students are analyzing first where the resources are most valuable. They are analyzing that energy drinks are most valued in a football game and car washing at the school parking lot.

Therefore, the value of resources is most influential in making the decision.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
