Question 14.61

31. Recalculate the apportionment of the coins in Exercise 13 (on page 614) by the Webster method. Again, after the excise tax is paid, a coin changes hands. Who gives it to whom?

31.

Before Tax After Tax
Abe 36 36
Beth 19 19
Charles 22 23
David 20 20
Esther 3 2
Total 100 100

Now it is Esther who must give a coin to Charles!
