An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is a security that represents a portfolio of individual stocks, which can be bought and sold on stock exchanges like individual stocks. This example assumes that the ETF can be exchanged for the underlying stocks and that an ETF unit can be formed using the underlying stocks. Additionally, it is assumed that stocks and ETFs can be purchased and short-sold without any limitations.**Lonestar ETF Composition:**- 5 shares of Exxon Mobil (XOM)- 8 shares of AT&T (T)- 1 share of Texas Instruments (TXN)**Current Bid and Ask Prices:**| Security | Bid Price | Ask Price ||--------------------------|-----------|------------|| Exxon Mobil (XOM) | $36.05 | $36.08 || AT&T (T) | $28.87 | $28.90 || Texas Instruments (TXN) | $156.75 | $156.80 || Lonestar ETF | $569.60 | $569.70 |**Arbitrage Analysis:**To determine arbitrage opportunities:1. Calculate the cost of acquiring the underlying stocks at the ask prices: - Exxon Mobil: 5 × $36.08 = $180.40 - AT&T: 8 × $28.90 = $231.20 - Texas Instruments: 1 × $156.80 = $156.80 - Total cost: $180.40 + $231.20 + $156.80 = $568.402. Compare the total cost ($568.40) with the bid price of the Lonestar ETF ($569.60).The cost of acquiring the underlying stocks is lower than the bid price of the Lonestar ETF, presenting an arbitrage opportunity. **Arbitrage Strategy:**- Buy the underlying stocks at their respective ask prices (total = $568.40).- Simultaneously sell the Lonestar ETF at the bid price ($569.60).This transaction can earn an arbitrage profit of $1.20 per ETF unit (i.e., $569.60 - $568.40).If no arbitrage opportunity existed, the combined price of the underlying stocks would equal the ETF's bid price. However, in this case, there is a profit to be made by executing the described transactions.

Arbitrage opportunity exists when the market price of underlying securities is different from the…

Some financial instruments such as convertible bonds, preferred stocks, warrants and options can have both debt and shareholder’s equity features. They can be converted into common stock or into preferred stocks by investors. This topic has been debated for several years on whether: Viewpoint 1: Issuers should account for an instrument with both liability and equity characteristics entirely as a liability or entirely as an equity instrument depending on which characteristic governs. Viewpoint 2: Issuers should account for an instrument as consisting of a liability component and an equity component that should be accounted for separately. Which of the two viewpoints do you favor? Develop an argument in support of your choice. In considering this question, you should disregard the current position of the FASB on the issue. Instead, focus on conceptual issues regarding the practicable and theoretically appropriate treatment, unconstrained by US GAAP and IFRS. Also, focus your…
