LOS 29 (a) Explain what is meant by arbitrage-free valuation of a fixed-income instrument. Reading 29: The Arbitrage-Free Valuation Framework Therefore, no arbitrage opportunity exists in the market. The price in Montreal matches the price in Ottawa. The following information relates to Asset A and Portfolio B. In these circumstances, an arbitrage opportunity exists because a trader could buy the bond and at the same time sell claims to the individual cash flows. For example, the value of a bond could be less than the value of the sum of its individual cash flows. The concept of value additivity suggests that the value of the whole can differ from the value obtained by adding the values of parts.

There are two types of arbitrage opportunities: value additivity and dominance. The arbitrage-free valuation model is based on the law of one price, which states that two goods, which are perfect substitutes, must have equivalent market prices in the absence of transaction costs otherwise, an arbitrage opportunity would exist.Īn arbitrage opportunity is a deal that involves no cash outlay but generates risk-free profits.

#Example of principle of dominance series#
The natural headpieces of these mannequins dominate two thirds of this entire window to dramatic effect.Ĭoming up next in Part 11 of our Design Principles series we will be discussing ‘contrast’ – don’t miss out! The bold black and white stripes dominate this window display but the vibrant yellow outshines even these, creating a focal point for the mannequin.Ħ. The bright colours and patterns of these flowers could overpower the composition, but using only a single item in the entire window serves to emphasise the prestige of the product.ĥ. Where several components get equal billing, emphasis is canceled out.Ĥ. No more than one component should vie for primary attention. The focal point may be the largest, brightest, darkest, or most complex part of the whole, or it may get special attention because it stands out for some other reason. Answer: Inheritance is the acquiring of genetic characteristics or traits from parents by their offspring. One way of achieving emphasis is by creating a focal point which is the point that catches the focus of the viewer’s attention. is located at the end of a directional line or the focus of a symmetrical arrangemenet.is part of a group within a field of isolated elements.The way we place the design elements can give dominance to one if placed so that it: It can create the centre of interest within a display or window that causes the eye to return again and again. The element that is dominant will draw attention to itself and emerge from the other parts of a composition. Emphasis, in turn, is defined as the intensity that something has or the stress placed upon something so that it is given importance or significance. Something is recognised as being dominant if it has greater emphasis within a setting a setting or composition. False eloquence is exaggeration true eloquence is emphasis. Welcome to Part 10 of our Elements and Principles of Design for Visual Merchandising series where we will introduce you to the design principles ‘Dominance/Emphasis’.
