The gain is calculated as:

Buying Price:5,000 shares purchased at $15.20 = $76,000.

Selling Price:5,000 shares sold at $15.25 = $76,250.

Profit Calculation:$76,250 - $76,000 =$1,000.

This reflects the gain from executing the market orders at the respective bid-ask prices.

Treasury bills (T-bills) are short-term fixed-income securities issued by the Government of Canada with maturities of one year or less, including terms as short as six months or less. They do not pay interest in the conventional sense. Instead, they are sold at a discount to their facevalue, and investors receive the full face value upon maturity. The difference between the purchase price and the face value represents the investor's earnings.

A. Guaranteed bonds: These are long-term securities that pay periodic interest (coupons) and do not fit the short-term, non-interest-paying description of T-bills.

B. Commercial paper: Issued by corporations, not governments, and used to finance short-term liabilities.

D. Term deposits: These are bank products, not government securities, and typically pay interest over their term.

TheCanada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC)insures eligible deposits (e.g., term deposits) up to a maximum of$100,000 per depositor per member institution. In this case:

Keith has $150,000 in ABC Trust Company → $100,000 is insured.

Keith has $75,000 in XYZ Trust Company → Entire $75,000 is insured.

Total insured amount = $100,000 (ABC) + $75,000 (XYZ) = $200,000.
