Answer: Rational Choice Theory

Explanation:

What Is Rational Choice Theory?

Rational choice theory states that a person will try to maximize their benefits while reducing their losses using rational reasoning in making this rational choice .

This always correlate with their self-interest meaning they will choose to do what seems to be the best thing for them.

As someone goes for rational choice this will supposedly give them a feeling of fulfilment and maximum benefit.

Max wants the I-Pad but he doesn't have enough cash to buy and he also doesn't want to spend his savings that he has kept for ski trip so he probably wants to have both of these then he goes for something that looks rational to him.

Stealing an I-Pad will mean he gets to have both things his ski trip money will still be there and now he will also have an I-Pad

That is a maximum benefit for him without having lost his money.
