Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Portia is applying the utilitarian principle, as she is making a decision based on the idea of maximizing overall happiness or well-being for all stakeholders involved (in this case, the builder, the company, and even potentially the end-users of the granite). She believes that substituting the other product will result in a comparable outcome, without causing harm or unfairly benefiting any party.
