    The profit that would result from both shares is $13,500

    Explanation:

    Loss would emanate from overvaluation while profit would result from undervaluation, that is the key to solving the question.

    Loss from overvaluation=1,500*$5=$7,500

    Profit from undervaluation=1,500*$14=$21,000

    Profit from the investment = Profit from undervaluation-loss from overvaluation=$21,000-$7,500=$13,500
