Question: Let (c=left(c_{1}, ldots, c_{S} ight) in mathbb{R}^{S}) represent a random payoff and suppose that there exists a portfolio (z^{c} in mathbb{R}^{N}) such that (D z^{c}=c).

Let \(c=\left(c_{1}, \ldots, c_{S}\right) \in \mathbb{R}^{S}\) represent a random payoff and suppose that there exists a portfolio \(z^{c} \in \mathbb{R}^{N}\) such that \(D z^{c}=c\). Suppose that it is possible to trade the payoff \(c\) for a price \(p_{N+1} eq p^{\top} z^{c}\). Show that there exists an arbitrage opportunity in the extended market represented by

\[p^{\prime}=\left(\begin{array}{c}p_{1} \\\vdots \\p_{N} \\p_{N+1}\end{array}\right) \quad D^{\prime}=\left[\begin{array}{cccc}d_{11} & \ldots & d_{1 N} & c_{1} \\\vdots & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots \\d_{S 1} & \ldots & d_{S N} & c_{S}\end{array}\right] .\]
