Consider the three stocks in the following table. Pt represents price at time t, and Qt represents shares outstanding at time t. Stock C splits two-for-one in the last period.

P0 Q0 P1 Q1 P2 Q2

A 93 100 98 100 98 100

B 53 200 48 200 48 200

C 106 200 116 200 58 400

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.)

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.)

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