A price-weighted index consists of Stocks A, B, and C which are priced at $50, $35, and $15 a share, respectively. The current index divisor is 3. What will the new index divisor be if Stock A undergoes a 5-for-1 stock split? (show your steps)

H2. A benchmark index has three stocks priced at $60, $65, and $70. The number of outstanding shares for each is 444,000 shares, 555,000 shares, and 777,000 shares, respectively. Suppose the price of these three stocks changed to $40, $70, and $90, respectively and number of outstanding shares did not change, what is the equal-weighted index return?
