1. Andy lives in an apartment next to Bob. Bob plays loud music, which reduces Andy's enjoyment of the apartment. With no noise, Andy gets $1000 in value from the apart- ment. With noise, Andy gets value of $500. Bob gets $1000 in value from playing his music. He can play quietly so that Andy is undisturbed, but that reduces his valuation by $1300 (so total value -$300). Bob's other option is to stop making playing music entirely. Alternatively, Andy can buy headphones which block out the noise, at a cost of $200. There are thus four possible outcomes 1.

1. Jack is considering selling his elliptical machine, which he never really used, is high quality, and has been taking up space in his spare bedroom. He lists it on Facebook Marketplace for "$1,200 or best offer" but in reality won't sell it for less than $1,000. Lina is looking to purchase a used elliptical machine. For a high-quality elliptical, she is willing to pay up to $1,300, and for a low-quality elliptical, she is willing to pay $600. Lina is risk neutral but she cannot tell if the elliptical machine is high quality or low quality. If she believes that 60% of used elliptical machines are high quality and 40% are low quality, what is the maximum price that Lina would be willing to pay? Would Jack agree to this price?
