Transactions entered with a limit price will not be held past the initial posting. This applies to both the End of Day or Real Time Games.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Transactions entered with a limit price will not be held past the initial posting. This means that once a transaction is entered with a limit price, it will either be executed immediately at that price or not at all. It will not be held or delayed for any reason, regardless of whether it is the End of Day or Real Time Games. Therefore, the statement is true.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Trades entered on a Friday at 6:30pm will receive the closing price for Monday because the market is closed over the weekend. Therefore, any trades made after the market closes on Friday will be executed at the next available price, which is the closing price on Monday when the market reopens.

Mutual funds have ticker symbols like stocks, but they are 5 letters long and end in an X.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Mutual funds indeed have ticker symbols like stocks, but there is a specific format for mutual fund ticker symbols. These symbols are typically 5 letters long and end in an X. This is done to differentiate mutual funds from individual stocks and make it easier for investors to identify and trade mutual funds in the market. Therefore, the statement "Mutual funds have ticker symbols like stocks, but they are 5 letters long and end in an X" is true.

SMG does not permit buying stocks that trade below $____ per share.

Correct Answer
5.00
5

Explanation
SMG does not permit buying stocks that trade below $5.00 per share. The answer "5.00" is correct because it specifically states the exact dollar amount that is not allowed for buying stocks. The answer "5" is also correct because it represents the whole number equivalent of $5.00. Both answers accurately convey the restriction imposed by SMG on purchasing stocks below a certain price per share.

  7%
- C.

- D.
  
  10%
Correct Answer
A. 5%

Explanation
Cash balances will be credited at an annual rate of 5%. This means that any money that has not been spent will earn an interest rate of 5% per year. This could be in a savings account or any other type of investment that earns interest. By crediting cash balances at a rate of 5%, the individual or organization will be able to earn additional income on their money that is not yet spent.

- A.
  
  True
- B.

Explanation
This statement implies that a team needs to have their first transaction entered successfully in order to be included in the regional rankings. This suggests that the regional rankings are based on the team's transaction history, and teams will not be listed until they have at least one successful transaction. Therefore, the answer is true.

- A.
  
  True
- B.

Explanation
Teams do not have to liquidate their portfolios at the end of the game. Liquidating means selling their stocks to convert them into cash, but this is not a requirement. Teams may choose to hold onto their stocks or make other investment decisions at the end of the game. Therefore, the statement is false.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement "Interest earned (and/or owed) is posted to the portfolio daily" is incorrect. In reality, interest earned or owed is typically not posted to a portfolio on a daily basis. Instead, it is usually calculated and added or deducted at the end of a specified period, such as monthly or annually. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
