    Check the explanation

    Explanation:

    Numerator/denominator = 7250000/2500

    = 2900

    So from given numerator and denominator current value should be 2900

    But it is 2789.82 so difference = 2900-2789.82=110.18

    Current S&p value = numerator / denominator

    New base Denominator = 7250000/2789.82

    New base denominator = 2598.7

    But it is 2789.82 so difference = 2900-2789.82=110.18

    Current S&p value = numerator / denominator

    New base period denominator = 7250000/2789.82

    New base period denominator = 2598.7
