Consider the three stocks in the following table. $P_t$ represents price at time $t,$ and $Q_t$ represents shares outstanding at time $t.$ Stock $C$

splits two$-$for$-$one in the last period.

Required:

a$.$ Calculate the rate of return on a price$-$weighted index of the three stocks for the first period $(t=0$ to $t=1).($Do not round

intermediate calculations. Round your answer to $2$ decimal places.$)$

Rate of return

$1\mathrm{.}72\%$

b$.$ What will be the divisor for the price$-$weighted index in year $2?($Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to $2$

decimal places.$)$

Divisor

c$.$ Calculate the rate of return of the price$-$weighted index for the second period $(t=1$ to $t=2).$
