bill and laura have two sons, lee is the older son and zak is the younger son. suppose zak really loves donuts, so his marginal utility for each additional donut is twice that of lee's. bill is a big football fan, and after watching lee outperform zak in practice, he gives lee four donuts and zak only two. laura is a utilitarian. assume that she is ignoring bill's utility this week (she is upset at him after an argument over politics), and that there are no diminishing marginal utilities. after learning about the donut situation, what will laura do? a. laura will take both of zak's donuts and give them to lee, so that lee has all six donuts. take two donuts from lee and give them to zak, so that zak has four donuts and lee has two donuts. not redistribute any donuts. take one donut from lee and give it to zak, splitting the donuts evenly at three apiece. take four donuts from lee and give it to zak, so that zak has all six donuts. b. why does laura do this? a utilitarian believes that utility must be equal among all parties involved. a utilitarian believes that if the acquisition of donuts was fair, she should not redistribute the donuts. it is fairer to account for zak being younger. lee has less marginal utility from each donut he would lose compared to the amount of marginal utility zak would gain.
