Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The median voter theorem suggests that the outcome of majority voting will reflect the preferences of the median voter. In this case, since the number of security guards has been determined by majority rule, and each voter pays a tax share of $50 per guard, the marginal benefit of the security service to Voter M (the median voter) is equal to the cost he is paying, which is $50. This is because the median voter's preference is exactly met by the current number of security guards.
