Two new products are competing for grant money, with the goal of cleaning up the marine environment. Each product removes plastic from the ocean. Product 1 can be used in the open ocean and requires monitoring once every three months to retrieve collected plastic.
Product 2 is designed to be used in harbors and marinas and requires monitoring once per week to retrieve collected plastic.
If all other costs and benefits are equal, which of these products would you recommend for the grant?
A. Product 1 because it requires less monitoring, reducing the overall cost
B. Product 1 because it is presumed to be more effective at removing plastic
C. Product 2 because it would provide more job opportunities for local people
D. Product 2 because it would probably last longer in marinas than in the open ocean

A. Product 1 because it requires less monitoring, reducing the overall cost

Explanation:

Product 1 is more favorable to use than product 2, because its need for monitoring and maintenance is less. This allows the cost of plastic collection to be lower, assuming the subsidy money would be spent more optimally, promoting savings while promising results are observed at sea. In other words, product 1 promotes efficient cleaning at a lower cost, while product 2 promotes efficient cleaning at a higher cost.
