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

JulijaS [17]

Greer decision is linked with the inconsistency of the quality of services.  

<u>Explanation: </u>

The consistency with which the service attributes anticipated for customers are delivered is a reliable measurement of total quality in the service industry. Consistency defines how sometimes you demonstrate and offer your clients the desired service quality.

Consistency of service is always expected by all customers; they want calm and no disagreeable surprises. In manufacturing, performance improvement is accomplished via a technique called statistical control of processes or SPC to minimize system uncertainty or variability.

For example, you can't create a consistent quality of service if you're prompt, correct and polite to certain of your customers, sometimes in all your branches. Therefore to say, good service turns into an error. Credibility will not be lasting or successful.

Why are creditors harmed by unexpected inflation? a. Creditors receive lower nominal rates of interest when prices rise. b. Cred
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

d. Creditors are paid back money with less spending power than when it was originally loaned out.

Explanation:

Creditors are the entities to whom people or firms owe money. Eg : If A owes money to B, B is A's  creditor.

Inflation is the rise in price level. It implies the same money has less purchasing (spending) power, due to price rise.

Normal Inflation is accounted by the creditors as the interest, which is added to the principal value of loaned amount, at the time of repayment.

However, unexpected inflation : It implies that creditors are repaid back money in the time, when that money has less purchasing power than the time when it had been lent. And, this unexpected fall in value of money is not accommodated into the interest rates also (since it was unexpected)
