Answer:

24.42%

Explanation:

(a) Index on the day immediately before the split (on 1 Jan 2017)

= (114+ 34 + 56 ) / 3

= 204/3 =68

Price of Douglas McDonnel stock just after the split (on 2 Jan 2017)

= 114/3 = $38

New divisor for the index

= (38 + 34 + 56)/68

= 128/68

=1.88

(b) Index on 1 Jan 2017 = 68

Index on 1 Jan 2018 = (41.08+ 48+ 70) / 1.88

= 159.08/1.88

=84.61

Hence:

Rate of return on the index for the year

2017

= (84.61 - 68) / 68 × 100

16.61/68×100

= 24.42%
