1) Suppose that a mechanic owns a building and is renting part of the building's space to a doctor. Further suppose that because the
mechanic is the owner, he has the right to make noise during the day while he fixes cars. While the doctor cannot insist on a quiet
environment, the doctor could move to a quieter building. However, rent in the next best building is $250/month more than rent in the
noisy building. The mechanic can adopt a new technology that eliminates the noise for $175/month. Given this situation can the
doctor find a private solution with the mechanic that will make both better off?
Yes, but there

2) What is the minimum and maximum payment the doctor would make to the mechanic to get the doctor to install the noise-reducing
equipment? NOTE: Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
Minimum: $
Maximum: $
