Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1SPPA
Company M is a place where usually anyone goes. Art Restaurant will attract middle-class income earners and upper-middle class income earners and LB in NY City will attract the upper-middle class income earners and high-income earners.
Explanation of Solution
Company M does not accept reservations as it is restaurant where one can sit and have a meal. All types of people visit Company M since its menu prices are not costly. Thus, there is no allocation of table and most people who visit Company M are willing to wait till a seat is vacant, hence reservation is not accepted.
Art restaurant is usually a target for middle-class income earners and upper-middle class income earners and people. The people who want to visit this restaurant prefer to either wait for a vacant seat or they reserve in prior in order to eliminate waiting.
LB in NY City focuses more on the upper-middle class income earners and high-income earners and usually these types of people visit this restaurant. Hence, for these elite people to eliminate waiting and to maintain the restaurant's class, reservation is vital.

Because he’s sure that developing guitar prowess will lead to riches – or at least critical acclaim in indie circles – he derives $500 in surplus from being able to practice. Dean’s practicing, however, is quite loud and can be heard clearly through paper-thin walls in his hip Brooklyn apartment. Britta lives next door and likes to read, but she is unable to do so when Dean plays guitar. She gets $350 in surplus from the satisfaction of reading. Suppose that when Dean and Britta bargain, they always split any surplus to be divided evenly. Assume that it’s common knowledge that courts always overestimate damages by $200, and transaction costs are $50. Given these assumptions, which of the following legal rules is most efficient: Assuming the same information from Question 28 above, what would be the most efficient tax to levy on Dean’s playing?
