A)   77.

B)   100.

C)   30.

D)   70.

The correct answer was A)

The market value weighted index = [(($1)(5,000) + ($20)(2,500) + ($60)(1,000))/$150,000](100)

= ($115,000/$150,000)(100)

= (0.767)(100)

= 76.67 or 77

7.What is the price-weighted index of the following three stocks?

A)   65.

B)   75.

C)   80.

D)   85.

The correct answer was A)

The price-weighted index equals [(50 + 35 + 110) / 3] = 65.


8.An index was recently begun with the following two stocks:

§ Company A – 50 shares valued at $2 each.

§ Company B – 10 shares valued at $10 each.

Given that the value-weighted index was originally set at 100 and Company A's stock is currently selling for $4 per share while Company B’s stock is still at $10 per share, what is the current value of the price-weighted index and the value-weighted index?

 

Price-weighted

Value-weighted

 

A)                                        7    300

B)                                        8    150

C)                                        7    150

D)                                        8    300

The correct answer was C)

Price weight = [(4) + (10)] / 2 = 7

Value weight = [(4)(50) + (10)(10)]/[(2)(50) + (10)(10)](100) = 150

Price using geometric Price using arithmetic

A)                                1.426   1.295

B)                                1.277   1.379

C)                                1.277   1.295

D)                                1.426   1.379

The correct answer was C)

First calculate the return relatives and then find the mean of the relatives.  The number of shares is irrelevant in this question.

 

Arithmetic average:

5/5 = 1; 12.5/10 = 1.25; 10/7.50 = 1.33; 8/5 = 1.60

(1 + 1.25 + 1.33 + 1.60) / 4 = 1.295

Geometric mean:
5/5 = 1; 12.5/10 = 1.25; 10/7.50 = 1.33; 8/5 = 1.60
[1 x 1.25 x 1.33 x 1.60]
1/4 = 1.277
