Problem 5-5 Value-Weighted Index (LO4, CFA2) Assume the following information concerning two stocks that make up an index. What is the value-weighted return for the index? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Price per Share Beginning End of of Year Year $ 37 $ 42 84 91 Shares Outstanding 35,000 26,000 Kirk, Inc. Picard Co. Return %
Current Index value:
= [current total market value of index stocks] = [Base year total market value of index stocks] x Base year index value
= [(42 x 35000) + (91x 26000)] - [(37 x 35000) + (84x 26000)] * 100
=[ (1470000 + 2366000 ) / (1295000 + 2184000) ] * 100
= (3836000 / 3479000) * 100
= 110.26
Return in percent = (110.26 - 100 ) / 100
= 0.1026 or 10.26%
