What is the purpose of "Competitive bidding" in the context of securities transactions?

To randomly allocate stock
To allow insiders to purchase shares
To establish market prices for dog-related securities
To have suppliers submit bids until the full amount is allocated

The correct answer is: To have suppliers submit bids until the full amount is allocated

Competitive bidding in the context of securities transactions refers to the process of having suppliers submit competitive bids in order to determine the most favorable price for securities. This allows for fair and efficient pricing of securities, rather than randomly allocating stock or allowing insiders to purchase shares. Additionally, it ensures that all suppliers have an equal opportunity to participate and that the full amount of securities is allocated.
