Bidder D s bid was for 150 units and since the quantity was still available at Rs.9250/MT, the software allocates bidder D 150 units. 3. Since bidder A placed his bid earlier than bidder E i.e Hrs hence the software gives first preference to Bidder A and allocates him the available quantity first. 4. After this allocation, since only 30 units are available the same is allocated to Bidder E.
