Calculating Maximum Rent in a Tenancy Agreement
A tenant farmer is considering a 'take-it-or-leave-it' rental offer from a landlord. If the tenant accepts the offer and farms the land, they can achieve a total satisfaction level equivalent to 120 units of utility before paying any rent. The tenant's next best alternative, if they reject the offer, provides them with a satisfaction level of 50 units of utility. Assuming each unit of rent paid reduces the tenant's utility by one unit, what is the maximum rent the landlord can charge that the tenant will still accept? Explain your reasoning.
