Answer:

$15.43

Explanation:

Following actions are required for triangular arbitrage:

Available: $ 10,000

Buy sterling pound @ 1 $ = 1.62 pounds and receive pounds 6172.84 upon conversion.

Now, sell these pounds and purchase NZ $ at the rate :

1 pound = NZ $ 2.95 and receive NZ$ 18209.87

Now, reconvert the above proceeds into US $ at the rate

1 NZ $ = $0.55 i.e sell NZ $ at this rate and receive US $ 10,015.4285

Hence profit from implementing triangular arbitrage is $10,015.43 - $10,000

= $15.43

Arbitrage refers to the prospect of earning a profit by utilizing the mispricing in two different financial markets. An arbitrageur never uses his own funds and always borrows.

Arbitrage works only in the scenario wherein the interest rate purchase parity (IRPT) does not hold good.

The strategy of arbitrage is best explained as "Buy at low price and sell at a high price".

xz_007 [3.2K]
Market structure is defined with characteristics of the market and there are four different market structures: perfect competition, oligopoly, monopoly and contestable market. 
<span>Perfect competition is a market structure in which there is a large number of small firms who produce identical goods otherwise known as homogenous goods and it has a lot of buyers. The competition between these firms is huge, because they are many firms and each of them wants to attract more buyers.</span>
Oligopoly is a market structure in which there is a small amount of large firms, for example the supermarket industry. There are not so many buyers as in the perfect competition, but buyers can still choose from which supermarket, for example, they will buy. So there is a competition between the firms.
