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.
