National defense is a good that is nonexcludable and nonrival in consumption. Suppose that instead of national defense being paid for with tax dollars national defense is paid for by voluntary contributions from (potentially) all individuals within Latvia. Cedric, 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 Cedric. For the optimal amount of safety, each citizen should pay $10$10 . Every $1$1 contributed (by anyone) to the national defense leads to increased security, which each person values at $0.20$0.20 . This means that every dollar spent on defense is worth $2.00$2.00 to Latvia as a whole. How much does Cedric personally value the increase in national defense when he contributes $10$10 to the defense fund? Cedric's personal value: $ If contributions are voluntary, and assuming people rationally maximize their utility, what is the total contributed to national defense? total contributed voluntarily: $ Suppose that instead of relying on voluntary contributions the government simply levies a tax of $10$10 on each person to pay for national defense. How much better or worse off would Cedric be if everyone (including himself) were taxed $10$10 instead of contributing voluntarily? If Cedric is worse off, be sure to put a negative sign in front of the number. Cedric's gain or loss under tax: $

You are thinking of making your mansion more energy efficient by replacing some of the light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs, and insulating part or all of your exterior walls. each compact fluorescent light bulb costs $4 and saves you an average of $2 per year in energy costs, and each square foot of wall insulation costs $1 and saves you an average of $0.20 per year in energy costs.† your mansion has 150 light fittings and 3000 sq ft of uninsulated exterior wall. to impress your friends, you would like to spend as much as possible, but save no more than $750 per year in energy costs (you are proud of your large utility bills). how many compact fluorescent light bulbs and how many square feet of insulation should you purchase? how much will you save in energy costs per year? (if an answer does not exist, enter dne.)
