National defense is a good that is non excludable and nonrival in consumption. Suppose that, instead of national defense being p

aid with tax dollars, national defense is paid by voluntary contributions from (potentially) all individuals within Latvia.
Alan, who is a Latvian citizen, must decide whether he wants to contribute to the national defense budget Further, suppose that there are a total of 10 citizens, including Alan. For the optimal amount of safety, each citizen should pay $10. Every $1 contributed (by anyone) to the national defense, leads to increased security, which each person values at $0.25. This means that every dollar spent on defense is worth $2.50 to Latvia as a whole.
Suppose that, instead of relying on voluntary contributions, the government simply levies a tax of $10 on each person to pay for national defense. How much better or worse off would Alan be if everyone (including himself) were taxed $10 instead of contributing voluntarily?
If Alan is worse off, be sure to put a negative sign in front of the number.

Answer:

Alan is better off by $15

Explanation:

the number of citizens in latvia = 10

if citizens were levied $10 each, total amount

= 10*10

=$100

each persons valuation = 100*0.25

= $25

$25 is also Alans valuation sice he is a part of this population.

since he contribited $10, his net gain would be

$25.00 - $10.00

= $15.00

Alan is better of by $15 in the tax system.

= Accounts receivable × percentage given

= $8,300 × 4%

= $332

Answer: 1. No.

2. Yes.

Explanation:

Price Discrimination is a pricing strategy where suppliers/producers or sellers sell a good to different people at different prices depending largely on their preference and/or capacity to pay for the commodity i.e, if you want it more, you are charged more.

1. Johnny did not like to play Hopscotch, so offering Suzie one day of Hopscotch for two days of bug hunting is fair and no price discrimination occured as he did not offer these terms to someone else who's game he did not like.

2. Sam knew that Johnny really liked playing Slaps so he leveraged on that and offered him more expensive terms so to speak than he did to Bill even though he liked playing the both games equally. This means that he charged Johnny more than Bill simply because Johnny liked and preferred his game alot which is Price discrimination.
