Consider a first-price auction with common values and two rational bidders with uniformly distributed signals S1 and S2. The true value of the object being auctioned is given by V = (S1 + S2)/2. If S1 = 50 and S2 = 70, then: a. The value of the asset is $60. b. Bidder 1 should bid $50. c. Bidder 2 should bid $70. d. All of the above. e. Only b. and c.

A dealer decides to sell an antique automobile by means of an English auction with a reservation price of $900. There are two bidders. The dealer believes that there are only three possible values, $7,200, $3,600, and $900, that each bidder’s willingness to pay might take. Each bidder has a probability of 1/3 of having each of these willingnesses to pay, and the probabilities for each of the two bidders are independent of the other’s valuation. Assuming that the two bidders bid rationally and do not collude, the dealer’s expected revenue from selling the car is approximately Group of answer choices $3,600. $2,500. $3,900. $5,400. $7,200.
