Shares Outstanding Beginning of Year Price End of year Price Kirk, Inc 45,000 $82 90 Picard C. 60,000 40 47

Explanation / Answer

question 1

Weighted share price at beginning of the year = ($82×45,000+$40×60,000)÷105000= $58

Weighted share price at ending of the year = ($90×45,000+$47×60,000)÷105000 = $65.42

Price weighted return:

= Weighted share price at ending of the year- Weighted share price at beginning of the year)÷ Weighted share price at beginning of the year

= ($65.42-$58)/$58

= 0.1279 or 12.79%

Q3)

Weighted share price at beginning of the year = ($86×42,000+$44×59,000)÷101000= $61.47

Weighted share price at ending of the year = ($94×42,000+$53×59,000)÷101000 = $70.05

Price weighted return:

= Weighted share price at ending of the year- Weighted share price at beginning of the year)÷ Weighted share price at beginning of the year

= ($70.05-$61.47)/$61.47

= 0.1395or 13.95%
