Decision whether aircraft carrier should be built or not


The US Navy is building an aircraft carrier. Price: $12 billion. There are about 300 million people in the US. Suppose half the population has a marginal benefit of this aircraft carrier equal to $100 each. The other half has a marginal benefit of the aircraft carrier equal to -$30 each. (That is, they'd be willing to pay up to $30 to NOT build the carrier.) Should the aircraft carrier be built?
