2. Suppose your neighbor likes to host parties at their house. They value having these parties at $200. These parties, however, impose a cost on you due to the noise they make. a. If your disutility is $100 from the noise being made, and you have the right to it being quiet, is there a solution that you and your neighbor can agree on? If so, what is it? b. If your disutility is $250 from the noise being made, and you have the right to no noise being made, is there a solution that both of you could agree on? If so, what is it? If not, what can change in terms of property rights to make an agreement possible?
