Question

Any help greatly appreciated

Answer 1

Option B. 8.6%

Explanation:

Simple index of two stocks: i=?

i=[(5,000*5.1+2,500*7.45)/(5,000*4.5+2,500*7.25)-1]*100%

i=[(25,500+18,625)/(22,500+18,125)-1]*100%

i=[(44,125)/(40,625)-1]*100%

i=[1.086153846-1]*100%

i=[0.086153846]*100%

i=8.6153846%

i=8.6%
