Expert Solution

You have asked so many question each with sub parts in a single post. I have addressed all the sub part of question 1 and first two sub parts of question 2. Please post the balance question separately.

Stock Initial Price Shares (mn)
P0 N0 P0 x N0
ABC                  25                    20 500
LMN                  50                      5 250
PDQ                    5                  200 1000
XYZ                100                      1 100
Total                180      1,850

Q - 1

(a)  The price-weighted average of the four stocks = 180 / 4 = 45

(b)  the divisor to produce the base figure market value-weighted index = 1850 / 1000 = 1.85

Q - 2

Stock Initial Price Shares (mn)
P0 N0 P0 x N0 P1 P1 x N0
ABC                  25                    20 500        25 500
LMN                  50                      5 250        50 250
PDQ                    5                  200 1000 2 400
XYZ                100                      1 100 110 110
Total                180      1,850      187        1,260

(a) the price-weighted average of the four stocks = 187 / 4 = 46.75

(b)  the market value-weighted index of the four stocks = 1,260 / Divisor = 1,260 / 1.85 = 681.08
