Descending-bid auction. There are 11 buyers bidding for one item in a descending- bid auction. Assume that buyer valuations follow a uniform(0.1) distribution. (a) What is the optimal bidding function b(v) in a symmetric equilibrium? (b) What is the expected surplus for a buyer with valuation v? (c) What is the expected revenue for the seller? (d) Suppose that the valuations of the 11 buyers are: %₁ = 0.427 22/2 0.559 Vs = 0.316 VA = 0.611 15 = 0.614 26 0.324 V7 = 0.798 28 = 0.570 19 0.598 10 0.125 11 = 0.171 Answer the following: i. Which buyer wins the auction? ii. What is the winning bid? (42) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) iii. What price does the winner pay?
