I can buy prom tickets for X amount of money. I can also buy a senior activity card for Y amount of money.
I can get one free prom ticket+ a free activity card if I sell 32 magazine subscriptions.
I can buy 32 subscriptions myself for 192 dollars.
If X +Y Is less than 192 I save money.
Chances are X+Y will be about 250.
Last year, prom tickets were around $110 each and activity cards approximately $125 which means I can buy the magz and save money but I would be directly hurting the school's resource pool. The average magazine sale is $20 and I would be buying 32 copies of a $6 magazine.

So since they take into consideration the price of the items given as prices and the average amount of money brought in, I am highly undercutting what they would expect to get.
Am I morally wrong to want to save my own money by doing this?
Economically (as my econ textbook says) it is perfectly within reason to look out for my own self-intrest without being selfish. Our country is based on the premise that by using my mind, I can get ahead in life.
Should I not do this?
