Answer:

The dollar amount of the investment in Stock D is (x=$156470.59)

Explanation:

Let assume investment in Stock D = $x

Hence investment in Stock E = (210,000-x)

Portfolio beta=Respective betas * Respective investment weights

1= (x/210,000*0.87)  + (210,000-x) /210,000*1.38[Beta of market=1]

(1*210,000) = 0.87x + 289800 -1.38x

290,000=0.87x+289800-1.38x

Hence x=(289800-210,000)/(1.38-0.87)

x= 79,800 / 0.51

x=156470.5882

x=$156470.59

Cindy invests $10000 in an account that pays an annual rate of 3.96%, compounding semi-annually. approximately how much does she
stiks02 [169]

Annual Compound Formula is:

A = P( 1 + r/n) ^nt

Where:

A is the future value of the investment

P is the principal investment

r is the annual interest rate

<span>n is the number of  interest compounded per year</span>

t is the number of years the money is invested


So for the given problem:

P = $10,000

r = 0.0396

n = 2 since it is semi-annual

t = 2 years

 

Solution:

A = P( 1 + r/n) ^nt

A = $10,000 ( 1 + 0.0396/2) ^ (2)(2)

A = $10000 (1.00815834432633616)

A = $10,815.83 is the amount after two years

Svetach [21]

Answer:

The answer is III) make simultaneous trades in two markets without any net investment.

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.
