In an auction, potential buyers compete for a good by submitting bids. Adam Galinsky, a social psychologist at Northwestern Univ

ersity, compared eBay auctions in which the same good was sold. He found that, on average, the higher the number of bidders, the higher the sales price. For example, in two auctions of identical iPads, the one with the higher number of bidders brought a higher selling price. According to Galinsky, this explains why smart sellers on eBay set absurdly low opening prices (the lowest price that the seller will accept), such as 1 cent for a new iPad. Use the concepts of consumer and producer surplus to explain Galinsky’s reasoning.

Answer:

Since the opening price is set so low, potential buyers will think that their total  consumer surplus is very large. For example a consumer may be willing to pay $40 for an iPod but since the price is $1 his total consumer surplus is $39, so he will tempted to offer higher bids which eventually lead to a higher final price.

Airida [17]

Answer:

her recognized gain on the sale of her old principal residence is $193,000 and her basis in the inherited home is $600,000.

Explanation:

Recognized gain on sale of old house

= ($600,000 - $125000) - $30,000 - $2000

= $443,000

Paula's recognized gain = $443,000 - $250,000

                                         = $193,000

Her basis in the inherited home = $500,000 + $100,000

                                                      = $600,000

Therefore, her recognized gain on the sale of her old principal residence is $193,000 and her basis in the inherited home is $600,000.

January 1, 2016                                                                            $57,639

December 31, 2016    $6,820         $7,493           $673               58,312

December 31, 2017      6,820            7,581               761              59,073

December 31, 2018      6,820           7,679              859             59,932

December 31, 2019     6,820            7,791               971              60,903

December 31, 2020    6,820            7,917            1,097             62,000

b. The carrying value that would appear on the 2019 balance sheet is:

c. The interest expense that would appear on the 2019 income statement is:

= $7,791.

d. The amount of cash outflow for interest that would appear in the operating activities section of the 2019 statement of cash flows is:

= $6,820.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Face value of bonds =      $62,000

Proceeds from the issue = 57,639

Bonds discount =                $4,361

Stated rate of interest = 11% paid annually on December 31

Effective rate of interest = 13%

December 31, 2016:

Interest expense =      $7,493 ($57,639 * 13%)

Interest payable =       $6,820 ($62,000 * 11%)

Discount amortization    $673 ($7,493 - $6,820)

Bond value = $58,312 ($57,639 + $672)

December 31, 2017:

Interest expense =     $7,581 ($58,312 * 13%)

Interest payable        $6,820 ($62,000 * 11%)

Discount amortization   $761 ($7,581 - $6,820)

Bond value = $59,073  ($58,312 + $761)

December 31, 2018:

Interest expense =     $7,679 ($59,073 * 13%)

Interest payable        $6,820 ($62,000 * 11%)

Discount amortization $859 ($7,679 - $6,820)

Bond value = $59,932 ($59,073 + $859)

December 31, 2019:

Interest expense =     $7,791 ($59,932 * 13%)

Interest payable        $6,820 ($62,000 * 11%)

Discount amortization  $971 ($7,791 - $6,820)

Bond value = $60,903 ($59,932 + $971)

December 31, 2020:

Interest expense =         $7,917 ($60,903 * 13%)

Interest payable           $6,820 ($62,000 * 11%)

Discount amortization  $1,097 ($7,917 - $6,820)

Bond value = $62,000 ($60,903 + $1,097)
