Consider a second-price, sealed-bid auction with a seller who has one unit of the object which he values at s and two buyers 1, 2 who have values of v1 and v2 for the object. The values s, v1, v2 are all independent, private values. Suppose that both buyers know that the seller will submit his own sealed bid of s (and will keep the item if bid s wins), but they do not know the value of s. The buyers know that the seller must submit his bid before seeing the buyer’s bids and they know that the seller will actually run a second price auction with the three bids he has: his own bid and the two buyer’s bids. Each buyer knows his own value but not the other buyer’s value.
Now suppose that the seller opens the bids from the buyers and then submits his own bid after seeing the bids from the two buyers. The seller runs a second price auction with these bids in the sense that the object is awarded to the highests bidder (one of the two buyers or the seller) and that bidder pays the second highest bid. Now is it optimal for the buyers to bid truthfully; that is, should they each bid their true value? Give a brief explanation for your answer.
Answer and Explanation:
Given that this is a second price bid auction whereby the second highest bid is the price that the highest bidder pays for the item up for auction sale, so that b1>b2 then b1 gets item for the price of b2.
Truthfulness of true value is the dominant strategy here which means each player should aim to be truthful with their bid regarding their true value regardless of what other bidders are bidding. Therefore truthfulness of value is the optimal strategy with the best payoff for bidders
A small country is collecting more money than it spends. What is MOST likely the fiscal policy stance that this government takes?
expansionary stance
contractionary stance
economic stance
neutral stance
Answer:
Contractionary stance
Explanation:
When the government collects more extra money than it is spending, it signals a robust and fast-growing economy. Contractionary fiscal policy measures are applied to slow down growth and reduce inflationary pressure.
The contractionary fiscal policy is the government's mechanism of reducing the money supply in the economy. The government may reduce its spending in the economy, increase business taxes, or both. These actions decrease the money supply in the economy, which reduces the amount that businesses can borrow to expand. The objective is to lower the aggregate demand, thereby slowing the country's rate of producing new goods and services.

c) Debby should not buy the equipment since the project's NPV is negative.
A company has total equity of $1,965, net working capital of $175, long-term debt of $940, and current liabilities of $1,770. What is the company's net fixed assets?
Answer:
The net fixed assets is $2,730
Explanation:
The computation of the net fixed asset is shown below:
= Total equity + long term debt + current liabilities - (net working capital + current liabilities)
= $1,965 + $940 + $1,770 - ($175 + $1,770)
= $2,730
hence, the net fixed assets is $2,730

An investor buys a property for $608,000 with a 25-year mortgage and monthly payments at 8.10% APR. After 18 months the investor resells the property for $667,525. How much cash will the investor have from the sale, once the mortgage is paid off
Answer:
$71,520
Explanation:
we must first determine the monthly payment:
monthly payment = present value / annuity factor
present value = $608,000PV annuity factor, 0.675%, 300 periods = 128.46monthly payment = $608,000 / 128.46 = $4,732.99
Then I prepared an amortization schedule using an excel spreadsheet. After the 18th payment, the principal balance is $596,005.
The investor will have $667,525 - $596,005 = $71,520

How much would the Gerrards have to put down if the lender required a minimum 20 percent down payment
Answer:
the first part of the question is missing, so I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:
Ben and Marie Gerrard, both in their mid-20s, have been married for 4 years and have two preschool-age children. Ben has an accounting degree and is employed as a cost accountant at an annual salary of $63,000. They're now renting a duplex but wish to buy a home in the suburbs of their rapidly developing city. They've decided they can afford a $210,000 house and hope to find one with the features they desire in a good neighborhood.
If the Gerrards are required to make a minimum 20% down payment, then they need to pay at least $210,000 x 20% = $42,000.
Many lenders require a minimum down payment for a mortgage loan and others charge different interest rates depending on the down payment percentage, e.g. if your down payment represents 30% of the house's value, the interest rate will be lower than a loan with a 20% down payment. The logic behind this is that the higher the down payment, the safer the loan.

A financial entity with permission to accept deposits and issue loans is known as a bank. Retail, commercial, and investment banks are just a few of the several sorts of banks. The national government or central bank controls banking in the majority of the world's nations.
Since Italian merchants in the Renaissance formed agreements to borrow and lend money next to a bench, the word bank is derived from the Italian word banco, which means bench. They set the cash down on the bench. Simple financial records have existed since the dawn of time.
Although banks do a variety of tasks, their main responsibility is to collect money from those who have money—known as deposits—pool it, and then lend them to people who need money. Banks act as go-betweens for depositors.

Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries, they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $500 from corporate bonds. Marc contributed $2,500 to an individual retirement account, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,500 (under a divorce decree effective June 1, 2005). Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $2,000 child tax credit for Matthew. They are also able to claim $2,900 in recovery rebate credit ($2,400 for Marc and Michelle and $500 for Matthew). Assume they did not receive the recovery rebate in advance. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $3,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the year. (Use the tax rate schedules).
A. What is Marc and Michelle’s gross income?
B. What is Marc and Michelle’s adjusted gross income?
C. What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle’s deductions from AGI?
D. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
E. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxes payable or refund due for the year?
Answer:
I will use the 2020 tax schedule since recovery rebate credit applies to 2020:
Marc and Michelle's gross income = Marc's and Michelle's salaries + interest from corporate bonds = $64,000 + $12,000 + $500 = $76,500
they should choose the standard deduction since it is higher than their itemized deductions = ($24,400)
contribution to IRA = ($2,500)
alimony payment = ($1,500) the divorce agreement was settled on 2005
Marc and Michelle's taxable income = $48,100
Marc and Michelle's tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($48,100 - $19,750)] = $5,377
Interests on municipal bonds is not taxable.
The amount of taxes that they owe = $5,377 - $3,500 (federal tax withholdings) = $1,877
Refundable tax credits:
$2,000 in child tax credit
$2,900 in recovery rebate credit
total = $4,900
taxes payable or refund = tax liability - refundable tax credits = $1,877 - $4,900 = -$3,023.
Marc and Michelle should get a refund for $3,023

Definition of economic costs
Darnell lives in Philadelphia and runs a business that sells pianos. In an average year, he receives $842,000 from selling pianos. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $452,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $38,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Darnell does not operate this piano business, he can work as an accountant and receive an annual salary of $48,000 with no additional monetary costs. No other costs are incurred in running this piano business.
Identify each of Darnell's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling pianos.

Explicit Cost
The wholesale cost for the pianos that Darnell pays the manufacturer
The salary Darnell could earn if he worked as an accountant

3. economic profit = 3000
4. daniel should stay in the piano business
Explanation:
explicit costs include:
1. The wholesale cost for the pianos that Darnell pays the manufacturer at $452000
2. The wages and utility bills that Darnell pays at $301000
the implicit costs include:
1. The salary Darnell could earn if he worked as an accountant at $48000
2. The rental income Darnell could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom at $38000
accounting profit:
842000-452000-301000
= 89000
economic profit:
842000-452000-301000-48000-38000 = 3,000
as an accountant economic profit:
48000+38000-89000
= -3000
so he should stay in the piano business so that economic profit would be maximized.

Product Director: We need to pick the best manager for the Prensabi software project. The project involves the latest technology and is very complicated. For example, this project uses a technology called Stage, which is a motion-capture technique that does not require actors to wear specialized gear to record their movements. Since this is a technical project that requires strong technical skills, we should pick the manager with the strongest technical skills. Executive: The manager needs some familiarity with the technology, but he or she won't actually be writing the software code.
