The marginal cost of providing a certain quantity of a pure public good to an additional consumer after it is provided to any one consumer is: Question 15 The monthly rental rate for a satellite dish antenna is $200. The maximum marginal benefit that any resident of a condominium community will obtain per month from the antenna is $50. There are 100 residents in the community, none of whom values the antenna at less than $25 per month. Assuming that the antenna is a pure public good for residents of the community, Question 16 If a person has multiple-peaked preferences for a pure public good, Question 17 A community currently hires 10 security guards per week to patrol their neighborhood. Each secu rity guard costs $300 per week.

This voter will vote against the proposal: Question 21 A small community currently taxes residents to provide monthly community concerts. Voter A currently pays a tax per concert equal to $50 per month. This voter receives a marginal benefit of $75 at the current political equilibrium number of concerts per month.

Question 25 If the marginal social benefit of one more unit of a good is 10 and the marginal social cost of one more unit of a good is 11, then: Question 26 Which of the following collective choice rules is likely to have the lowest political externalities? Question 27


The demand curve for a pure public good is: Question 28 Voter A will normally vote in favor of one security guard per week because his marginal benefit is $125 and his tax share is $100 per week. Voter A receives zero marginal benefit from one concert a week and would vote against it. Voter B receives $125 marginal benefit from one concert per week but no marginal benefit from one security guard. One concert per week also will fail to gain a majority when put to the vote. Assuming that both Voter A and Voter B will pay $100 per week in tax for each concert and each security guard, Question 29 The plurality rule is: Question 30 A public choice is:
