Assume that the three beachfront parcels are sold to the people that
you indicated in the previous section. Suppose that a few days after the
last of those beachfront parcels is sold, another essentially identical
beachfront parcel becomes available for sale at a minimum price
of $535,000. This fourth parcel will
be sold because Hilary
will purchase it from the seller for at least the minimum price.

Close Explanation
Explanation:
To determine what will happen with the fourth parcel, compare the minimum selling price
with the willingness and ability to pay of the remaining buyers. The remaining buyer with the
highest willingness and ability to pay is Hilary at $550,000. Since $550,000 is greater than the
minimum selling price of $535,000 for this parcel, Hilary will purchase the parcel.
