The Woods Co. and the Mickelson Co. have both announced IPOs at $56 per share. One of these is undervalued by $8, and the other is overvalued by $2, but you have no way of knowing which is which. You plan to buy 1,200 shares of each issue. If an issue is underpriced, it will be rationed, and only half your order will be filled.

If you could get 1,200 shares in Woods and 1,200 shares in Mickelson, what would your profit be?

* If you could get 1,200 shares in Woods and 1,200 shares in Mickelson, your profit would be: $7,200;

* Actual expected profit: $2,400.

Explanation:

* If you could get 1,200 shares in Woods and 1,200 shares in Mickelson, what would your profit be?

The total profit would be equals to the sum of positive payoff and negative payoff in which:

Positive payoff = Undervalued per share * 1,2000 shares bought = 8 * 1,200 = $9,600.

Negative payoff = Overvalued per share * 1,2000 shares bought = (2) * 1,200 = $(2,400)

=> Total profit = $9,600 - $2,400 = $7,200.

*  What profit do you actually expect:

As for positive payoff stock purchasing, we can only get half of the stock which is 600 stocks, the profit will be again equals to the sum of positive payoff and negative payoff in which:

Positive payoff = Undervalued per share * 600 shares bought = 8 * 600 = $4,800.

Negative payoff = Overvalued per share * 1,2000 shares bought = (2) * 1,200 = $(2,400)

=> Total profit = $4,800 - $2,400 = $2,400.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
