Omit the "%" sign in your response.)Price per Share Shares Outstanding Beginning of Year End of YearKirk, Inc. 35,000 $ 63 $ 69 Picard Co. 32,500 113 122

Respuesta :

Answer:

8.54%

Explanation:

Current Index value:

= [current total market value of index stocks] ÷ [Base year total market value of index stocks] × Base year index value

= [(69 × 35000) + (122 × 32500)] ÷ [(63 × 35000) + (113 × 32500)] × 100

= 108.54

Return in percent:

= ( 108.54 - 100 ) ÷ 100

= 8.54%

Therefore, the value-weighted return for the index is 8.54%.
