Buggy a. If r= 15% and DIV₁ = $8, what is the value of a share? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal pla Value of a share b. What price do you forecast for the stock next year? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal pla Stock price c. What is the expected rate of return on the stock?

2. The following table shows the constituent stocks of a hypothetical index. Stock B splits two-for-one during the period. Stock A B C Beginning of Period Price ($) Shares 30 75 36 2,000 500 1,200 End of Period Price ($) 26 40 32 Shares 2,000 1,000 1,200 a. Calculate the returns on both the price-weighted index and the market value- weighted index of three stocks over the period. b. If you just buy 5,000 shares of stock C for $36, hold for 1 year, collect $8 dividend and sell it at $32. Calculate your total return.

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. A B C Po 82 42 84 00 100 200 200 Divisor P1 87 37 94 01 100 200 200 P2 87 37 47 92 100 200 400 Required: 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.) Rate of return I % 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.) D c. Calculate the rate of return of the price-weighted index for the second period (t=1 to t = 2).
