The prices of the two stocks will be the same in 3:27:30 hours, at 12:27:30 PM.

Since the price of stock A at 9am was $ 15.95, and since then, the price has been increasing at the rate of $ 0.13 each hour, and at noon the price of stock B was $ 16.45, and it begins to decrease at the rate of $ 0.11 each hour, to determine, if the two rates continue, in how many hours will the prices of the two stocks be the same, the following calculation must be performed:

  • 12 PM =
  • A = 15.95 + (0.13 x 3) = 16.34
  • B = 16.45
  • 12:30 PM =
  • A = 16.34 + (0.13 / 2) = 16.405
  • B = 16.45 - (0.11 / 2) = 16.395
  • 12:28 PM =
  • A = 16.34 + (0.13 / 60 x 28) = 16.40
  • B = 16.45 - (0.11 / 60 x 28) = 16.39
  • 12:27:30 PM =
  • A = 16.34 + (0.13 / 60 x 27.5) = 16.40
  • B = 16.45 - (0.11 / 60 x 27.5) = 16.40

Therefore, the prices of the two stocks will be the same in 3:27:30 hours, at 12:27:30 PM.
