In this situation, an arbitrage trade can be made by executing a calendar spread. A calendar spread involves buying a futures contract for a later month and simultaneously selling a futures contract for a nearby month. In this case, one can buy the next month futures contract at Rs.97 and sell the current month futures contract at Rs.95. By doing so, the trader can take advantage of the price difference between the two contracts and potentially make a profit.Rate this question:

 Record date for a stock is 27th Feb 2008 & dividend declared is Rs.15. What trade will you take if the expiry is on 26th Feb 2008 given the following situation:   Cash trading at: Rs.1232   Current month future trading at: Rs. 1229   Next month future trading at: Rs.1227
- A.
Current month cash futures
- B.
Next month cash futures
- C.
Calendar
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Next month cash futuresExplanation
Given that the record date for the stock is 27th Feb 2008 and the dividend declared is Rs.15, the trade to take if the expiry is on 26th Feb 2008 would be next month cash futures. This is because the dividend declared will be paid to shareholders who hold the stock on the record date, which is after the expiry date. Therefore, by taking next month cash futures, the trader can avoid the risk of losing the dividend payment.Rate this question:

 You have 20,000 shares of Rs.100 each, company declares split of 1:5. What is the value of shares that you will have after ex-date?
- A.
Rs.100,00,000
- B.
Rs.20,00,000
- C.
Rs. 1,00,000
- D.
Rs. 2,00,00,000
Correct Answer
B. Rs.20,00,000Explanation
After the split of 1:5, each share will be divided into 5 shares. So, the total number of shares will increase to 20,000 x 5 = 100,000. The value of each share will be reduced to Rs.100/5 = Rs.20. Therefore, the total value of shares that you will have after the ex-date will be 100,000 x Rs.20 = Rs.20,00,000.Rate this question:

In this case, the market capitalization of stock X is 1.25 Cr and the total market capitalization of the index is 50 Cr. Therefore, the weight of stock X in the changed index is (1.25/50) * 100 = 2.5%.Rate this question:

Market cap. weighted Index
- B.
Free Float weighted Index
- C.
Price Weighted Index
- D.
Volume Weighted Index
Correct Answer
B. Free Float weighted IndexExplanation
A free float weighted index is a stock market index in which the weight of each stock is determined by its free float market capitalization, which is the total market value of a company's outstanding shares that are freely available for trading. This means that stocks with a higher free float market capitalization will have a greater impact on the index. Therefore, the Sensex being a free float weighted index suggests that it is calculated based on the free float market capitalization of the stocks included in the index.Rate this question:

- A.
Yes, Conversion
- B.
No opportunity
- C.
Yes, Reversal
Correct Answer
C. Yes, ReversalExplanation
A reversal arbitrage opportunity exists in this situation. In a reversal arbitrage strategy, an investor would simultaneously buy the underlying asset (cash trading) and buy a put option while also selling a call option. The investor can then exercise the put option to sell the underlying asset at the strike price, while also receiving a premium from selling the call option. Since the cash trading price is higher than the sum of the put and call trading prices, there is a potential to make a risk-free profit through this strategy.Rate this question:
