Farmer Owens has an apple orchard that must be pollinated by bees in order to bear fruit. Farmer Owens's neighbor, Maude, owns beehives with bees that can pollinate the apple trees. Suppose the benefit of the bees to Farmer Owens is $5,000 per year. Suppose the bees provide no benefit to Maude but she must pay $3,000 per year to maintain the hives. If Farmer Owens and Maude engage in Coasebargaining, what would likely result?

A. Farmer Owens would pay Maude between $3,000 and $5,000 to maintain the hives.

B. Maude would pay Farmer Owens between $3,000 and $5,000 to maintain the hives.

C. Farmer Owens would pay Maude between $0 and $5,000 to maintain the hives.

D. Farmer Owens would pay Maude at least $5,000 to maintain the hives.

E. Farmer Owens would not be willing to pay Maude an amount such that she would maintain the hives.

Remember, coerce bargaining implies that one party to a bargain uses their ability or privilege or advantage to force or pressure the other party to accept the bargain.

Hence, Farmer Owens, who seems to have a better advantage over Maude would likely coerce her into accepting his offer by not been willing to pay Maude an amount such that she would maintain the hives.
