Suppose that QB =20-0.25P and Q A =20-0.5P represent the demand for a public sports field by Christian and Tanya respectively. The marginal cost to provide the field is represented by MC=10+ 5 Q. Q is the number of acres of fieldland to be provided. A. Graph Christian's and Tanya's MWTP curves, the aggregate MWTP curve, and the MC curve in the same diagram. B. Solve for the socially efficient number of acres to be provided and identify this in your graph. C. What would be the total cost of providing the socially efficient number of acres? Identify this area in your graph. D. How much is Christian willing to pay to have the socially efficient number of acres provided? How much is Tanya willing to pay? Identify these two areas in your graph. Are Christian and Tanya together willing to pay the total cost of providing this many acres? E. Which of the two individuals may have the greatest incentive to free ride and why? F.
