consider that we have one stock, ZEE Electronics, that today is worth $50 and one period later will be worth either $75 or $40. We will denote these prices as ZEE = $50, ZEE+ = $75, and ZEE– = $40. Another stock, CYT Technology, is today worth $38 and one period later will be worth $60 or $32. Thus, CYT = $38, CYT+ = $60, and CYT– = $32. Assume that the risk- free borrowing and lending rate is 4%. Also assume no dividends are paid on either stock during the period covered by this example. Find arbitrage return for ZEE and CYT technology, if exist

Jeffery Smith founded Smith’s technology in 1994 in Melbourne, Australia, with $10,000 and a unique
vision of how technology should be designed, manufactured and sold. More than 5 million customers later
and with an annual IT budget of approximately $500 million per year, Smith has made an indelible mark
on the computer industry—and the world. The enterprise sells more than 1,000 apps every day to
customers in 120 countries and employs 40,000 people worldwide.

Covid has had a significant impact on the organisation where they have realise that a lot of their systems
across Australia (i.e. Sydney, Perth and Melbourne) are not integrated and therefore it is very difficult for
them to reconcile their accounts and inventory stocks using their Enterprise Resource Planning system
(ERP) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) at the end of the every financial year. This year was worse
because their chief accountant could not travel to the other centres because of the Covid restrictions. As
the Chief Enterprise Architect, you have been hired to help their IT Strategy and Technology Department
to design a solution that would enable real-time updating of information across the three locations. You
would therefore have to map out future directions for the IT company, with a three-year roadmap which
involves investments in the tens of millions of dollars such as SAP ERP, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Data
Warehouse Systems and Business Intelligence Reporting Systems.

Discuss the business problems faced by Smith’s technology and is it a problem associated
with the lack of good enterprise architecture practice?
