Explanation / Answer

The answers are as follows:

24) The answer is option 4, "some of our expendable income".

According to Singer the amount of charity could begin at a 1% depending upon the net income of a person, and could go up in percentage as the income rises.

25) The answer is option 1, "Harming one person to benefit another".

For the utilitarian, all that matters is the net gain of happiness and it can be justified by making one or a few miserable in service of the rest.
