Public

In an ascending price auction, also known as an English auction, the bidders keep raising their bids until only one bidder remains, and that bidder wins the item at the final bid price. The clearing price is the price at which the winner obtains the item.

Given the valuations of the three bidders for the piece of art:

Bidder 1: $100
Bidder 2: $200
Bidder 3: $300

In an ascending price auction, the bidders will continue to bid until the price exceeds the valuation of all but one bidder. In this case, the auction will proceed as follows:

The bidding starts at a low price, let's assume $0.
Bidder 1 will bid up to their valuation of $100.
Bidder 2 will outbid Bidder 1 by bidding higher than $100, say$ 101.
Bidder 3 will then outbid Bidder 2 by bidding higher than $200, say$ 201.
At this point, Bidder 1 and Bidder 2 will drop out of the auction since the price has exceeded their valuations.
Bidder 3, being the last remaining bidder, wins the auction and obtains the piece of art.

The clearing price, which is the final price at which the winner (Bidder 3) obtains the item, is $201.

Therefore, the clearing price of the art in this ascending price auction is $201.
