    Old prices are $23, 43, 56

    New prices $23, 41, 58

    Shares 350,000; 405,000; 553,000

    Multiply Old prices by Shares:

    23*350,000 = 8,050,000

    43*405,000 = 17,415,000

    46*553,000 = 30,968,000

    In total = 56,433,000

    Multiply New prices by Shares:

    23*350,000 = 8,050,000

    41*405,000 = 16,605,000

    58*553,000 = 32,074,000

    In total = 56,729,000

    New index value = 970*56,729,000/56,433,000 = 975
