Answer 1

Given Information

Stock	1/2/19 Price	1/2/20 Price
X	50	48
Y*	70	55
Z**	114	69

*4:3 Split after close of 1/2/19

**8:5 Split after close of 1/2/19

1. Calculation of percentage change in a price weighted index consisting of these three stocks from 2019-2020

Price of Index Before Price Change is 50+30+43.8462 = 123.8462

Price of Index After Change is 50+70+114 = 234

% Change is ( 234 - 123.8462 ) / 123.8462 = 88.9440 %

W.N. 1

X = 50 (before and after same)

Y = 70

Split Ratio is 4:3 that means (133.3333%)

Price before Split is (70/7)*3 = 30

Z = 114

Split Ratio is 8:5 that means (160%)

Price before Split is (114/13)*5 = 43.8462
