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 $t=1).$

Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to $2$ decimal places.
