a. 2 bidders $2,750

b. 10 bidders $3,750

c. 100 bidders $3,975

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what your optimal bidding strategy in a first-price, sealed-bid auction when the total number of bidders (including you) is:

Using this formula

Optimal bidding = Bidder's own valuation - (Bidder's own valuation - Lowest valuation) ÷ Number of bidders

Let plug in the formula

a) 2 bidders

Optimal bid = $4,000 - [($4,000 - $1,500) ÷ 2]

Optimal bid = $4,000 - ($2,500÷2)

Optimal bid = $4,000 - $1,250

Optimal bid = $2,750

b) 10 bidders

Optimal bid = $4,000 - ($4,000 - $1,500) ÷ 10

Optimal bid = $4,000 - ($2,500÷10)

Optimal bid = $4,000 -$250

Optimal bid =$3,750

c) 100 bidders

Optimal bid = $4,000 - ($4,000 - $1,500) ÷ 100

Optimal bid = $4,000 - ($2,500÷100)

Optimal bid = $4,000-$25

Optimal bid = $3,975

Therefore your optimal bidding strategy in a first-price, sealed-bid auction when the total number of bidders (including you) is:

a. 2 bidders $2,750

b. 10 bidders $3,750

c. 100 bidders $3,975

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (gdp) and other macroeconomic variables. a business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. the duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. but the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.

Suppose there are three types of consumers who attend concerts at your university’s performing arts center: students, staff, and faculty. each of these groups has a different willingness to pay for tickets; within each group, willingness to pay is identical. there is a fixed cost of $1,000 to put on a concert, but there are essentially no variable costs. for each concert: i. there are 140 students willing to pay $20. (ii) there are 200 staff members willing to pay $35. (iii) there are 100 faculty members willing to pay $50. a) if the performing arts center can charge only one price, what price should it charge? what are profits at this price? b) if the performing arts center can price discriminate and charge two prices, one for students and another for faculty/staff, what are its profits? c) if the performing arts center can perfectly price discriminate and charge students, staff, and faculty three separate prices, what are its profits?
