You are trying to create a stock index using three stocks. To recap, DJIA is a price-weighted index and S&P500 is a value-weighted index.
Each stock's data at t=0 (begin of day) and t=1 (end of day) is provided below.
Notice that Stock B is split 2 for 1. So, its price went down from $50 to $25, while the quantity went up from 80 to 160.

StockPrice (t=0)Quantity (t=0)Price (t=1)Quantity (t=1)
A$1040$1540
B$5080$25160
C$14050$13050

If the Price-Weighted (PW) Index Value at t=0 is 100, what is the PW value at t=1?
