Question

a). Initial value of index (using price-weighted scheme) = sum of price per share of all stocks/number of stocks = (103+45+74)/3 = 74 b). Index value as of 1/1/20 = (106+39+63)/3 = 69.33 2019 return = (2020 value - 2019 value)/2019 value = (69.33-74)/74 = -6.31% Index value as of 1/1/21 = (118+53+79)/3 = 83.33 2020 return = (2021 value - 2020 value)/2020 value = (83.33-69.33)/69.33 = 20.19%
