Price

Shares (millions) 1/1/16 1/1/17 1/1/18

Douglas McDonnell 530 $62 $66 $81

Dynamics General 230 34 28 42

International Rockwell 330 63 52 68

    Index value on January 1, 2014 prior to split = (66+28+52) / 3 = 48.6667

    After Split

    (33+28+52) / d = 48.6667

    d = 113/48.6667

    d = 2.322

    Answer

    New divisor : 2.322
