The different types of people exercise different amounts and have different marginal benefits for any given size of public park. the marginal benefits for each type of person are: MBCP (A) =0
MBJ (A) =10-A/2
MBB (A)=20-A
where subscripts denote the type of person. The cost of A acres of park can be expressed as:
MC(A) =10+2A.
