Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: The seller is aware of each buyer's valuation of the item.

Explanation:

To begin with, an <em>auction</em> is the process of buying and selling goods by offering them up for bid. There are many types of auctions but the main purpose of them all is to obtain the better price as possible for a good that is being shown and sold.

To continue, in all of the cases presented above the one in where the seller would be least likely to use an auction to determine the price of an item would be in the case where the seller is aware of each buyer's valuation of the item due to the fact that if he already knows that then it will not make sense to use an auction because those procedures are used in order to obtain the higher price as possible by putting the buyers against each other, but how in this case the seller already knows how much every buyer will pay then the most reasonable thing to do is just sell it to the highest bidder.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

His maximum inventory level would be 180 units

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

daily demand rate , d=1,600/200=8 units;

daily production rate p=80 units;

C0=25 dollar

Cc=2 dollar

Therefore, Qopt=√2*25*1,600/(2(1-8/80))

Qopt=210.82

But here Rolf decide to produce 200 units each time he started production, hence fix Q=200

Therefore, Maximum inventory level=200*(1-8/80)=200*0.9

Maximum inventory level=180 units

His maximum inventory level would be 180 units

Which of the following statements about the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), which is the "father" of the security market lin
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

(d) All of the above responses are correct

Explanation:

The Capital asset pricing model (CAPM) helps in calculation of expected rate of return by an investor which is dependent upon risk premium and beta.

Beta refers to sensitivity of return from stock with respect to the market return.

Risk premium refers to the additional rate of return which an investor must be provided so as to compensate him for additional risk he assumes.

ER = Rf + β (Rm- Rf)

ER= Expected Rate Of Return

Rf= Risk Free Rate of Return

Rm= Return from market

β = sensitivity index of security return to market return

Security Market Line (SML) is a graphic representation of CAPM.

Thus,  (d) is the correct option
