It goes like this and is bit long-winded; please give me whatever you can impart now. Thank you very much for looking.

The more money the US offers foreign governments to send troops to Afghanistan, the more troops they will send. The State Department has calculated the following relationship: if the US offers p million dollars per thousand soldiers per month, foreign governments in the aggregate will send p/2 thousand soldiers. Every country that sends troops has to get the same amount of money per thousand soldiers per month (they compare notes and if somebody is getting less, that country will be insulted and leave).
a. If the US wants 100 thousand foreign soldiers in Afghanistan, how much will it have to offer per thousand troops per month?

b. How much will it cost per month?

c. Calculate the total surplus that foreign governments realize.

d. What sort of governments will realize a lot of surplus under this arrangement? What sort of governments won’t realize much surplus?

Sorry. I know it is long; any info please, I will be grateful Yahooer!.
