Three stocks have share prices of $12, $75, and $30 with total market values of $400 million, $350 million, and $150 million, respectively. If you were to construct a price-weighted index of the three stocks, what would be the index value? - 43 - 39 - 30 - 300

Index = (12 + 75 + 30)/3 = 39

A benchmark index has three stocks priced at $23, $43, and $56. The number of outstanding shares for each is 350,000 shares, 405,000 shares, and 553,000 shares, respectively. If the market value weighted index was 970 yesterday and the prices changed to $23, $41, and $58 today, what is the new index value? - 985 - 975 - 970 - 960

Index = (((23*350,000) + (41*405,000) + (58*553,000))/((23*350,000) + (43*405,000) + (56*553,000))) * (970) = 975.087 = 975

If the stock prices changed to $16, $18, and $62 today respectively, what is the 1-day rate of return on the index? - 6.16% - 5.78% - 4.35% - 7.42%

Index Return = [((16*600,000) + (18*500,000) + (62*200,000))/((12*600,000) + (20*500,000) + (60*200,000))] - 1 = 0.06164 = 6.164%

Index0 = (10 + 20 + 80 + 50 + 40)/5 = 40 Index1 40 = (10 + 20 + 80 + 50 + 40)/X 4.5 = X
