Four roommates are planning to spend the weekend in their dorm room watching old movies, and they are debating how many to watch. Here is their willingness to pay for each film:
a. Within the dorm room, is the showing of a movie a public good? Why or why not?
b. If it costs $8 to rent a movie, how many movies should the roommates rent to maximize total surplus?
c If they choose the optimal number from part (b) and then split the cost of renting the movies equally, how much surplus docs each person obtain from watching the movies?
