TaJuLa259 Apr 21, 2007, 01:29 PM I need help figure out the steps to weighted average. waylene Apr 21, 2007, 01:42 PM I need help figure out the steps to weighted average. Here's an a quick example: Calls Received Average Talk Time 25 X 342 (seconds) = 8550 12 X 295 = 3540 23 X 298 = 6854 15 X 292 = 4380 So 75 totals calls and 23324 total seconds gives you 23324/75 for a weight average talk time of 311 seconds. Hope this helps ivory5130 Sep 15, 2007, 06:59 PM Is this the same process for stocks? ivory5130 Sep 15, 2007, 07:06 PM Is this the same process for stocks? MarkRealEstateConsultant Oct 16, 2007, 01:49 PM Gee, it's amazing no one has answered you. The answer is yes - stocks work this way. That's why you'll see investors buy stocks after the price drops - to get the weighted avaerage down and make it easier to show a profit, Example - 10 shares x $100 = $1000 investment price drops to $80 buy 10 more shares at $80 = $800 investment (total money invested $1800) Stocks now needs to rise to $90 to sell the 20 shares and breakeven (not the original $100 a share). Be careful - don't be investing without more information. This example shows stocks and weighted averages and why some investors make what seems like a silly investment Copyright ©2005-, Ask Me Help Desk
