We must adjust the divisor of the index to leave the index


A price weighted index is composed of 2 stocks, A and B, priced at $60 and $200 per share, respectively, at the close of market today. So our initial value of the index is (60+200)/2 = 130.

Tomorrow stock B will split 4:1. We must adjust the divisor of the index to leave the index unchanged due to the stock split. What will be the new divisor?

Enter answer accurate to 3 decimal places.
