Assume That Matt, Joe, and Teresa Are the Only Citizens

Assume that Matt, Joe, and Teresa are the only citizens in a community. A proposed public good has a total cost of $1,000. All three citizens will share an equal portion of this cost in taxes.

A) accepted; the public good is produced, even though it is economically inefficient.
B) defeated; the public good is not produced, even though it would have been efficient to do so.
C) accepted; the public good is produced, which is economically efficient.
