Question

a) which trader get filled and for what volume

b)what will be the market price of  power ate each mode after the auction

c) Determine economic surplus for each trader

One complication in Nodal auctions is that traders can either buy or sell using "outright" orders (Traders 1
and 5) or "spread" orders (Traders 2, 3, and 4). In an outright order, the trader wants to buy or sell a
single product at some price. In a spread order, a trader wants to simultaneously buy AND sell the same
volume of two different products and will only transact if they can get both products. A spread order means
that the trader does not care about the absolute price of either product, only that the price difference
between the products they are buying and those they are selling is less than their spread order price.
The notation of the bid diagram is as follows: an arrow into a product means the trader wants to buy that
product and an arrow out means the trader wants to sell that product. Thus Trader 2 wants to buy Product C
and sell Product A, looking for the difference (i.e. price of C - price of A) to be <= $15/lot.
