Suppose that a surfboard designer owns a building and is renting part of the building's space to a library. Further suppose that because the surfboard designer is the owner, he has the right to make noise during the day while he sands the boards. While the library cannot insist on a quiet environment, it could move to a quieter building. However, rent in the next best building is $350/month more than rent in the noisy building. The surfboard designer can adopt a new technology that eliminates the noise for $275/month. Given this situation, can the library find a private solution with the surfboard designer that will make both better off?
What is the minimum and maximum payment the library would make to the surfboard designer to get it to install the noise-reducing equipment? NOTE: Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
