Assume that your roommate is very messy. According to campus policy, you have a right to live in an uncluttered apartment. Suppose she gets a $200 benefit from being messy but imposes a $100 cost on you. The Coase theorem would suggest that an efficient solution would be for your roommate to

b. pay you at least $100 but less than $200 to live with the clutter.

Explanation:

The options are:

a. stop her messy habits or else move out.

b. pay you at least $100 but less than $200 to live with the clutter.

c. continue to be messy and force you to move out.

d. demand payment of at least $100 but no more than $200 to clean up after herself.

According to the Coase theorem, if a party has the rights to a property, then an efficient output level will be achieved when there is some sort of bargaining between the parties that are involved.

Since the roommate gets a $200 benefit from being messy but imposes a $100 cost on me, an efficient solution would be for my roommate to pay me at least $100 but less than $200 to live with the clutter.

typically a loft will include modern kitchen and bathrooms, this increases the price tag. lofts also have a good amount of open space, this requires more heating and electricity. lofts are also in older buildings, this means that maintaining the location increases the bill. keep in mind this is without talking about the high state and property taxes.

i hope this you! : )
