Note that a $1 change in a stock’s price causes the DJIA to change by 8 (=1/ 0.12493117)

Problems with price-weighted averagesProblems with price-weighted averages

Stock splits require changes in the divisor Larger priced stocks move the index more

than smaller priced stocks for the same % price move.- A $100 stock that increases 10% changes by

$10. A $10 stock that increases 10% changes by $1. A change of $10 moves the DJIA ten times more than a $1 change.

Difficult to index to a price-weighted average.
