Pertanyaan :

After studying the first Session Topic entitled Auction and also read the additional material. Based on
your own opinion, what kind of Auction that happened in Indonesia? Explain your reason and give
the example of Auction in Indonesia!

Jawaban :

An auction is a sales event wherein potential buyers place competitive bids on


assets or services either in an open or closed format. Auctions are popular
because buyers and sellers believe they will get a good deal buying or selling
assets.

How Auctions Work

In an open format, all bidders are aware of the bids submitted. In a closed
format, bidders are not aware of other bids. Auctions can be live, or they can
be conducted on an online platform. The asset or service in question is sold to
the party that places the highest bid in an open auction and usually to the
highest bidder in a closed auction.

Example of Auctions :

In an open auction, parties come together at a physical venue or online


exchange to bid on assets. An interested party is aware of the competing bid
amounts and continues to raise their bid until they are either declared the
winner of the auction (i.e., they submitted the last highest bid within the
auction time limit) or until they decide to drop out of the bidding.

Examples of auctions include livestock markets where farmers buy and sell
animals, car auctions, or an auction room at Sotheby's or Christie's where
collectors bid on works of art. Leading online marketplace eBay is a host of
online auctions. 

Closed Format Auctions,In many business transactions, including the sale of


company assets or an entire company, auctions are conducted in a closed
format whereby interested parties submit sealed bids to the seller. These bid
amounts are only known by the seller. The seller may choose to hold just one
round of bidding, or the seller may select two or more bidders for an additional
auction round.

In a situation wherein a division of a company or the whole company is up for


sale, price is not the only consideration. The seller, for example, may want to
preserve as many jobs as possible for its employees. If a bidder does not
submit the highest price but can offer the best terms for continuity for
employees, the seller may select that bidder.

Government Auctions,Property may become government-owned property


through normal purchases or if it is foreclosed on for failure to pay taxes, or for
other reasons. Investors interested in land and other assets can attend
an auction of government-owned property, which may ultimately be sold at
attractive prices.

For example, suppose that a manufacturer declares bankruptcy. If the


manufacturer also owes a substantial amount of taxes, the government may
seize its capital equipment, including buildings, machinery, equipment,
vehicles, and tools, and auction it off to other manufacturers. There is an
incentive for other manufacturers to buy these capital goods at auction
because they are able to pay less for the used equipment than they would if
they purchased brand-new equipment.
