Answer:

Yes, since you will gain $14

Explanation:

1. We're going to get $6 in this case. Because our profit represents the difference in our readiness to pay and the cost charged by the seller.

2. As we are ready to sell the seller is now 3, from this contract we will receive $17-3= $14.

Every other vendor would lower our $14 surplus

The tender price refers to a purchaser's highest price for money. The demand price corresponds to a seller's cheapest price for a product.

This is known as the spread, but the smaller the spread, the larger the visibility of the defence.

b) If I were the only buyer and know that the lowest ask price is $3, I will not accept because D. Both A and C are correct.

What is the asking price?

The asking price represents the minimum price that a seller is willing to take for an item on offer.

The opposite of an asking price is the sell or bid price (or the reservation value).  And the difference between the asking price and the bid price is the spread.

Data and Calculations:

Reservation value of the auction = $17

Seller's asking price = $11

Gain = $6 ($17 - $11)

Lowest ask price = $3

Gain  = $14 ($17 - $3)
