Three farmers, Albert, Bob, and Charlene, are contemplating building access roads to their farms. The road to Albert's farm is worth $10,000 to him and the road to Bob's farm is worth $12,000 to him. Charlene's farm is on the main road, which already exists, and so an extra road is of no value to her. This is summarized in the table below. The cost of building each access road is $9000 and under the current tax rules each of the three farmers would have to pay a third of the cost per road built. A road will be built if it receives a majority of votes.
