A stock in an uptrend has a 12-day EMA of Rs 250 on the previous day. Today's close is Rs 263. Using the smoothing factor 2/(n+1), what is today's 12-day EMA?

Today's 12-day EMA is Rs 252. The smoothing factor is 2/13, and the gap between today's close of Rs 263 and the previous EMA of Rs 250 is Rs 13. Adding 2/13 of Rs 13, which is Rs 2, to Rs 250 gives Rs 252.

  1. ARs 252.00
  2. BRs 254.00Correct
  3. CRs 256.50
  4. DRs 257.00

Explanation

Multiplier = 2/13. EMA = 250 + (2/13)(263 - 250) = 250 + (2/13)(13) = 250 + 2 = Rs 252. Checking the options: Rs 252 is correct, so option 0 must be the key.
