Answer:

Jack and Jill

a. With a proportional tax of 1 percent on income, it would be enough to pay for the security guard $120.

Jack would pay $ __40___.

Jill would pay $ __80___.

This tax _will____ be enough to pay for the security guard.

b. Based on net benefit from the guard:

Jack would pay $ __43___.

Jill would pay $ _ 77____.

Would both Jack and Jill vote for this scheme? __No___ Jack will feel cheated by Jill in the sum of $3.  Jack will likely prefer the 1% based on income.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Value of a security guard for Jack = $50 per month

Value of a security guard for Jill = $90 per month

Total value of a security guard for both Jack and Jill = $140 ($50 + $90)

Cost of hiring a guard = $120 per month

Jack's monthly earnings = $4,000

Jill's monthly earnings = $8,000

Total monthly earnings for both Jack and Jill = $12,000

a. Proportional tax of 1 percent on income = $120 ($12,000 * 1%)

Jack will pay $4,000 * 1% = $40

Jill will pay $8,000 * 1% =    $80

Total = $120

b. Net benefit scheme:

Jack will pay $50/$140 * $120 = $43

Jill will pay $90/$140 * $120 =    $77

Total = $120
