Consider an economy with three individuals. Individual 1 has inverse demand function for a public good given as P1=50-2Q1, Individual 2 has inverse demand function for the public good given as P2=80-5Q2 and Individual 3 has inverse demand function for the public good given as P3=100-4Q3 The prices are measured in dollars per unit.
