A benchmark index has three stocks priced at $37, $60, and $70. The number of outstanding shares for each is 420,000 shares, 545,000 shares, and 693,000 shares, respectively. If the market value weighted index was 880 yesterday and the prices changed to $37, $56, and $74, what is the new index value?

Respuesta :

Answer:

885.38

Explanation:

Market value yesterday = 37 x 420000 + 60 x 545000 + 70 x 693000 =

15540000 + 32700000 + 48510000=

96,750,000

Market value today = 37 x 420000 + 56 x 545000 + 74 x 693000 =

15540000 + 30520000 + 51282000=

97,342,000

Market value today / Market value yesterday = Index today / Index yesterday

Index today = Market value today / Market value yesterday x  Index yesterday = 97,342 / 96,750 x 880 = 885.38

New Index value = 885.38
