Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the costs of helping are small and Kirk will feel better about himself by helping, he is most likely to help the homeless person. This is because the costs of helping are low (i.e. giving some change or offering food) and the benefits (i.e. feeling good about oneself, potentially helping someone in need) outweigh the costs. In the other options, the costs of helping are either high or there is no benefit to Kirk for helping, making it less likely that he will help the homeless person.
