There are three types of planes (1, 2, and 3) that use an airport runway.

There are three types of planes (1, 2, and 3) that use an airport runway.

Plane 1 needs a 100-yard runway, 2 needs a 150-yard runway, and 3 needs a 400-yard runway. The cost of maintaining a runway is equal to its length. Suppose this airport has one 400-yard runway used by all three types of planes and assume also that only one plane of each type will land at the airport on a given day. We want to know how much of the $400 cost should be allocated to each plane.
(a) Find the characteristic function.
(b) Find the least core and show it has only one allocation.
