(a) (1 point) What is the mid-price, and what is the bid-ask spread? What is the maximum number of shares one can buy or sell using a single market order?
(b) (0.5 point) Suppose you submit a market buy order for 15 shares. What is the average per-share price at which your order will be executed? Assuming that no new limit orders are submitted, what will happen to the mid-price?
(c) (0.5 point) Suppose you submit a limit buy order for 15 shares at $19.5. Where would your order be inserted into the limit order book? What will be the mid-price and bid-ask spread after the submission of your limit order?

a) What is the mid-price? What is the bid-ask spread?

Bid-ask spread = ask price – bid price

Bid-ask spread = $22 - $20

Bid-ask spread = $2

Mid-price = (ask price + bid price) / 2

Mid-price = ($22 + $20) / 2

Mid-price = ($42) / 2

Mid-price = $21

What is the maximum number of shares that can be bought or sold using a single market order?

Working:

We create the market depth table



Based on the table, using a single market order we can buy 50 shares (because the total selling quantity is 50) and

Using a single market order we can sell 30 shares (because the total buying quantity is 30)

b) Market buy order for 15 shares

Working:
our first 10 shares would be executed at $22

And our next 5 shares would be executed at $23

Average price = ($22*10 + $23*5)/15

Average price = ($220 + $115)/15

Average price = ($335)/15

Average price = $22.33

What will be the new mid-price?

Now the best sell price is at $23

Mid-price = (ask price + bid price) / 2

Mid-price = ($23 + $20) / 2

Mid-price = ($43) / 2

Mid-price = $21.50

c) Submit a limit buy order at $19.50?

Answer) our order would be inserted between $20 and $19 in the limit order book

The new order book would look like this

What will be the new mid-price?

New mid-price would be $21

This would be same as done in part A.

Because the order we put in is not the nest bid price, it won’t affect the mid-price.

Thus, the answer would be same as $21

Answer:

The order would be inserted between $20 and $19 in the limit order book as shown on the table 2.

Still the same.

Bid-Ask Spread = ask price - bid price

Bid-Ask Spread = $22 - $20

Bid-Ask Spread = $2

Mid-Price = (ask price + bid price) / 2

Mid-Price= ($22 + $20) / 2

Mid-Price= ($42) / 2

Mid-Price = $21

Because the order we put won't affect the mid-price. Thus the answer would be the same as $21.
