The apples, plant the seeds, and get more apples each year, plant more, sell them or give them away; whichever is more altruistic...

I would rather have the $500.00 to spend for what is presently needed and I would not take the apples cause cannot eat that many and they will probably go bad. I could give some of them away but it will not benefit me like the money will.

The apples of course. One a day would keep the Doc
away for well over a year.
$500 is what I pay for medical for 2 months.

I'd take the money and buy an apple plus a whole lot of other things. 500 apples would spoil before I could eat them or find enough people to give them to.

$500 because with the current going rate of apples, no one would pay $1 per apple.
With $500 and apples selling at about $0.33 per apple, I could buy 1,515 apples.
So the most valuable choice is $500.

There is no explanation offered for my wanting possession of the Apples or $500, so the arbitrary quantity for each is all the more absurd.
To phrase it another way: rather than allowing whim to rule the day, whether I prefer one to the other or neither of them must be preceeded by knowledge of where they originated and how they can be allocated. Otherwise I grant you, the one who presents the choice, with excessive influence.

$500. Most of the apples will rot before I get to use them, and I'm not going anywhere selling apples @ $1 each.

Since you capitalized Apples, I assume that you mean Apple computers. I'd take those if they were in good working order, instead of the $500. Heck, I'd take ONE good Mac instead of $500.

$500, because the apples would perish. Unless I can give them to the hungry. $500 can be saved for as long as I wish for the sake of saving, or can be spent wisely on many things.

why would I want 500 apples? 495 of them will probably rot. I'd rather have $500 ...If I want an apple I'll but one!
