Answer:

a. $2125

b. $2025

c. there is an arbitrage opportunity.

Explanation:

a. St = So x (1+ rm)-D

So = current index price = 2000

rm = return on market = 8%

D = dividends = $35

inserting into the formula:

2000x(1+0.08)-35

= $2125

b.

So x (1+rf)-D

rf = 3%

2000 x (1+0.03)-35

= $2025

c. yes there is an arbitrage opportunity. the investor should go into contract with an exercise price of 2125dollars then short sell asset in future and after this, buy back after at future market price. since actual future price is 2012 and price expected is 2125.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: $428

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that one bought 100 shares of stock at an initial price of $37 per share and that the stock paid a dividend of $0.28 per share during the following year, and the share price at the end of the year was $41.

The total dollar return on this investment will be calculated as:

= 100(41 - 37 + 0.28)
