Consider a second-price, sealed-bid auction with a seller who has one unit of the object which he values at s and two buyers 1,

2 who have values of v1 and v2 for the object. The values s, v1, v2 are all independent, private values. Suppose that both buyers know that the seller will submit his own sealed bid of s (and will keep the item if bid s wins), but they do not know the value of s. The buyers know that the seller must submit his bid before seeing the buyer’s bids and they know that the seller will actually run a second price auction with the three bids he has: his own bid and the two buyer’s bids. Each buyer knows his own value but not the other buyer’s value.
Now suppose that the seller opens the bids from the buyers and then submits his own bid after seeing the bids from the two buyers. The seller runs a second price auction with these bids in the sense that the object is awarded to the highests bidder (one of the two buyers or the seller) and that bidder pays the second highest bid. Now is it optimal for the buyers to bid truthfully; that is, should they each bid their true value? Give a brief explanation for your answer.

Answer and Explanation:

Given that this is a second price bid auction whereby the second highest bid is the price that the highest bidder pays for the item up for auction sale, so that b1>b2 then b1 gets item for the price of b2.

Truthfulness of true value is the dominant strategy here which means each player should aim to be truthful with their bid regarding their true value regardless of what other bidders are bidding. Therefore truthfulness of value is the optimal strategy with the best payoff for bidders

Suppose Lisa starts driving for Uber as a part-time job to supplement her income as a home-based web designer. When working as a
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

$12.5(at least) would be needed to induce Lisa for driving Uber instead of working on web designing.

Explanation:

Lisa makes $25 per job on web designing from her home and in the first hour she can complete 2 additional jobs. But as per the question by the eight hour she can only do .5 jobs which means that for the eight hour she would earn -

                        .5 x $25 = $12.5 ( per job she gets $25)

So if Lisa goes on doing work as uber driver she is going to loose $12.5 in the eight hour , so we can say that if Lisa is offered $12.5 hourly rate to work as cab driver then she is not going to miss out on the money she would have made as web designer from home.

Plummer Industries purchased a machine for $43,800 and is depreciating it with the straight-line method over a life of 8 years,
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

$2,580

Explanation:

Depreciation = (Cost - Residual Value)/ Useful life

Yearly depreciation = ($43-800 - $3000)/8 = $5100

At the end of Year 5, total depreciation would be = $5100 X 5 = $25,500

Net book value at the end of year 5 = $43,800 - $25,500 = $18,300

Year 6, the extra ordinary repair that extended the useful life would be capitalized. Book value = $18,300 + $7,500 = $25,800

As 5 years have been expended, the remaining useful life would be 15-5 = 10 years

Depreciation expense year 6 = $25,800/10 = $2,580

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Promissory estoppel

Promissory estoppel means that in legal tenet that a promise or pledge can be enforced by law, actually if formulated without legal consideration, if the George now the (promisor) has made a pledge to a Susy the (promises) who then depends on that promise for a subsequent detriment.

So Susy can sue George on the basis of promissory estoppel and get a reward for George's disappointment
