Practice question: Sale of Delinquent Shares

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

One hundred shares secure a delinquent subscription. The full balance, interest and statutory costs total P60,000. At a valid auction, Bidder A offers that full amount for 80 shares, B offers it for 50 shares, and C offers only P55,000 for 20 shares. No other qualifying bid exists. Which bidder meets the statutory winning criterion?
  1. B, because 50 is the smallest share count among bids paying the full required amount
  2. A, because 80 is the largest share count
  3. C, because the lowest share count always wins despite underpayment
  4. All must receive the same shares
  5. The secretary may ignore every qualifying bid
