When five new baby animals were born recently, Summerset Zoo decided to follow the lead of various athletic teams and sell naming rights to local businesses. Each of five sponsors, including Soundbite Communications, paid a different amount of money to choose one animal's name; and the Zoo realized $40,000 total from the idea. Given the clues below, can you solve this Logic Puzzle by finding each different animal's name (one is Bill) and how much the sponsor of each paid for the naming rights?

  1. The smallest amount paid to name an animal was $2,500.
