The answer is III) make simultaneous trades in two markets without any net investment.
Explanation:
Arbitrage is simultaneously buying an asset ( may be currency, securities...) in a low-priced market and sell it in a high-priced market.
As a results, the investor earns profit from price differences in the two markets without risk and net investment. It is because the two trading happens at the same time once price differences in any two markets are recognized ( arbitrage opportunities recognized) and the proceed of selling the asset is immediately used for financing/returning to the buying of the asset.
Thus, (III) is the correct answer.
Answer:
Gain on disposal = $7600
Explanation:
As the machine is sold on 1 April 2024, we first need to update the depreciation expense and charge the depreciation to the date. The depreciation has been charged till 1 December 2023. So, we need to charge the depreciation for three more months.
The formula for depreciation expense under straight line method is,
Depreciation expense per year = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life
Depreciation expense per year = (24000 - 0) / 5
Depreciation expense per year = $4800 per year
Depreciation expense for three months = 4800 * 3/12 = $1200
Accumulated depreciation 1 April 2024 = 14400 + 1200 = $15600
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we first need to determine the net book value of asset and deduct it from the cash received on disposal.
NBV = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
NBV = 24000 - 15600
NBV = $8400
Gain on disposal = 16000 - 8400
Gain on disposal = $7600
Answer:
The beta of the portfolio is 1.22
Explanation:
In calculating the beta of the whole portfolio, we can calculate the weighted average beta of each stock .The sum of all weighted betas give the beta of the entire portfolio.
Beta of portfolio=amounted in first stock/entire amount invested*beta of the first+amount invested in second stock/entire amount invested *beta of the second stock
Beta of portfolio=($32000/($32000+$42000))*1.1+($48000/($32000+$48000))*1.3
Beta of portfolio=1.22
