Stock Predictor

Since graduated from high school and college, you have been hired as a financial analyst. Your
main job is to take the $500,000 account and invest it using a method called Volume Weighted
Average Price (VWAP). To do this, you must follow the steps to determine whether a stock is
at a good time to buy or not!

1) The VWAP uses a measure called the typical price (PT). This is found by adding the days
high price H, the low price L, and the closing price C; then dividing the sum by 3.
a) Write an equation that solves for PT.

b) If the stocks price ranged from $30.50 - $42.15, and it ended the day at $38.92, what
would be PT for the day?

2)
tells us the typical value for the stock ( stands for typical volume).
gives us
the actual value for the stock. When the typical value is less than the actual value, we want to
buy!!
a) Write an inequality for when we should buy the stock, making sure to replace PT with
your answer from part 1-A.

b) If VT=100,000 and VA=120,000, what is the minimum price of the stock if we are still
able to buy?

BONUS: At the minimum allowable price, how many shares could we buy based on the
total money in the account?
