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).
