Answer:

The index value is $79

Explanation:

To compute the index value, we consider the prices of the underlying assets. Many indices utilize market capitalization weighting, revenue-weighting, or float-weighting among others.

When calculating indices, weighted averages are applied as values are derived from a weighted average approach of the total portfolio. Thus, price-weighted indexes will fluctuate more significantly with alterations in higher-priced securities, while market cap weighted indexes will be more heavily influenced by larger companies and so forth based on their weighting criteria.

For the price index, the calculation is simply the average of the share prices and equals $79.

Nady [3600]

Response:

Total Sales= $3,000,000

Clarification:

Based on the following details:

The expectation is to sell 10,000 mattresses over the current year, with 1,000 mattresses available in finished goods inventory at the previous year's close. Armando aims to end this year with at least 1,250 finished mattresses in inventory. There won't be any leftover work-in-process inventory. Each mattress retails for $300.

Production:

Sales projected= 10,000

Ending inventory goal= 1,250

Beginning inventory= (1,000)

Total needed= 10,250

Sales therefore total= 10,000*300= $3,000,000
