Therefore, the water park should be willing to pay up to $1,100 per week for the chemical lab to recycle water. However, the recycling method decreases the chemical lab's economic profit by $1,800 – $1,100 = $700 per week. Therefore, the chemical lab should be willing to use the recycling method if it is compensated with at least $700 per week. Suppose the water park has the property rights to the lake. That is, the water park has the right to a clean (unpolluted) lake. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the chemical lab will the recycling method and will pay the water park per week.
