Consider an equally weighted index of stocks A$,$ B and C$.$ A year ago, the three stocks

were selling at $$20,$$$50$ and $$80$ per share, respectively. Today their prices are $$22,$

$$47$ and $$87.$ During the year, stock A paid a dividend of $$1\mathrm{.}20$ per share and stock $C$

$$1\mathrm{.}60$ per share. What was the total return of the index?

$3\mathrm{.}23\%$

$4\mathrm{.}26\%$

$5\mathrm{.}23\%$

$6\mathrm{.}92\%$

Consider a portfolio that includes $300$ shares of stock A$,250$ shares of stock B and

$150$ shares of stock C$.$ A year ago, the three stocks were selling at $$22,$ $$56$ and $$42$

per share, respectively. Today their prices are $$25,$$$53$ and $$47.$ During the year,

stock A paid a dividend of $$0\mathrm{.}70$ per share and stock B $$1\mathrm{.}35$ per share. What was

the portfolio return?

$4\mathrm{.}65\%$

$5\mathrm{.}37\%$

$6\mathrm{.}23\%$

$7\mathrm{.}48\%$

Consider a price weighted stock index that is based on $4$ stocks. The stock prices for

index if the first stock is split $2$ to $1?$

$2\mathrm{.}80$

$3\mathrm{.}33$

$3\mathrm{.}50$

$3\mathrm{.}76$
