Suppose there are ten people playing cards in a room. one of them wants to smoke a cigar, nine of them dislike the smell of cigar smoke. the smoker values the
privilege of smoking at $5, and each of the other nine people of the room would be willing to pay fifty cents for clean air in the room. the rules governing use of the
room state that smoking is not allowed unless everyone agrees to allow smoking. if all ten people can negotiate with each other at no cost, then which of the following outcomes is consistent with the coase theorem?

• b) the cigar smoker will pay each of the other nine people fifty-five cents, and they will agree to allow smoking.
• c) the cigar smoker will smoke because the external cost of smoking does not need to be taken into consideration.
• d) the nine non-smokers will each pay the cigar smoker fifty cents and the cigar smoker will not smoke.
