For questions 19 and 20, consider a situation in which representatives from nine legislative districts need to consider three proposals (there is one single representative per district). The surplus realized by constituents in each legislative district for each proposal is as follows: District 1 District 2 District 3 District 4 District 5 District 6 District 7 District 8 District 9 Proposal I 450 400 250 75 -150 -200 -175 -150 -75 Proposal II -175 -175 225 125 75 -25 -50 -25 -50 Proposal III -225 -200 -400 50 125 150 25 -50 -25 19. First suppose that each proposal is considered separately, with each representative voting for/against each based upon surplus realized by constituents of his/her own district. Under this procedure, "Proposal I" would be , "Proposal II" would be , and "Proposal III" would be A. approved; approved; approved. B. defeated; approved; approved. C approved; defeated; defeated. D. defeated; defeated; defeated. 20. Now suppose that the nine representatives can potentially engage in logrolling by agreeing to "trade votes." In practice, they will consider doing this by "packaging different proposals together" and having a single up-or-down vote on the package of proposals. Which of the following statements is accurate? A. "If "Proposals I & II' are voted on as a package, they will collectively be defeated. This outcome increases Total Social Surplus relative to voting on the three proposals separately." B. "If "Proposals I & III' are voted on as a package, they will collectively be approved. This outcome decreases Total Social Surplus relative to voting on the three proposals separately." C. "If "Proposals I, II, & II' are voted on as a package, they will collectively be approved. This outcome decreases Total Social Surplus relative to voting on the three proposals separately." D. "If "Proposals I, II, & II' are voted on as a package, they will collectively be approved. This outcome increases Total Social Surplus relative to voting on the three proposals separately."
