a. Calculate the initial value for a price weighted index.
b. Calculate the initial value for a value weighted index.
a. The initial value for a price weighted index is computed as shown below:
= ( $ 50 + $ 25 + $ 60 + $ 5 ) / 4
= 35
b. The initial value for a value weighted index is computed as shown below:
= ( $ 50 x 100 million + $ 25 x 400 million + $ 60 x 200 million
+ $ 5 x 50 million ) / 4
= $ 6,812.5 million
