Question: In real-world FCC auctions, there are other complications. We consider two of them below.(a) Bidder 1 is financially constrained (while the two other bidders are not). Suppose bidder 1's valuations for the two objects are 50 and 60; respectively, but his total budget is 100. What should this bidder do in the auction (according to the auction rule for Question 1 - question 1: What should a bidder do if his valuations for the two objects are 50 and 60?); respectively? Explain.
(b) Bidders do not have budget constraints. Bidder 1 is special. He values the two objects individually at 50 and 85; respectively. But this bidder's valuation for the bundle of the two objects is 140 (which is greater than the sum of 50 and 85). That is to say, if bidder 1 gets only object 1 and the price is 30, his net payoff will be 50 30 = 20; but if he gets both objects at prices 30 and 20, his net payoff will be 140 - 30 - 20 =…
Assume that you are faced with an opportunity made up of three equally likely outcomes. If the first outcome occurs, you receive P1000. If the second outcome occurs, you receive no money. If the third outcome occurs, you must pay P100. Given that you can be characterized as risk neutral, how much would you pay to take this risk? Would you willing to pay more or less this opportunity?
