PDJB 9 11.48

Required:
Write down the the portfolio weight.

Given $100,000 to invest using a value-weighted method, the weights will be decided based on market share. The individual stocks will be weighted based on their proportion of the total market value.

Total Market value for all the shares

= ($14 * 1,430,000) + ( 24 * 1,440,000) + (43 * 29,520,000) + ( 9 * 11,480,000)

= 20,020,000 + 34,560,000‬ + 1,269,360,000‬ + 103,320,000‬

= $1,427,260,000‬

Golden Seas Weight

= (14 * 1,430,000) / 1,427,260,000‬

= 1.40%

Jacobs and Jacobs

=  ( 24 * 1,440,000) / 1,427,260,000‬

= 2.42%

MAG

= (43 * 29,520,000) / 1,427,260,000‬

= 88.9%

PDJB

= ( 9 * 11,480,000) / 1,427,260,000

= 7.24%
