Using the Measuring Worth calculators, find out > a) if you bought GE stock in 1892, stock splits would put your single share at 4,608 and 50 shares at 230,000. If you bought 50 shares in 1892, and a single share is worth close to $20 today, what is the total worth of the original 50 as compared to the indexes of inflation? > a) MCD also split so that 1 share = 1,487.2. 100 shares would then now be a total of 148,720. McDonalds has been hovering between $75-$76 a share this week. How much is $75/share x 148,720? How does that do against what $2,250 in 1965 is worth today. Regardless of the worth, dividends alone for the 100 shares in 1965 would be worth around $362,000 per year.
 * 1) How much a $1,600 slave in 1860 would be worth in 2010
 * 2) Which measure of inflation best represents modern worth? Why?
 * 3) Using the measure of inflation you selected, multiple your number by 4 million slaves. How much is that worth?
 * 4) If the American Southeast totals $3.1 trillion today, what percent of the modern economy would slavery make up?
 * 5) A $20 dollar federal lawsuit (7th Amendment) would be worth in 2010.
 * 6) General Electric stock originally sold for $108 per share in 1892. If you bought 50 shares, you would pay $5,400. Relatively speaking, would $5,400 be easily affordable today?
 * 1) McDonalds stock in 1965 was $22.50. 100 shares would be $2,250. In 2009, what would be the equivalent of $2,250 in 1965.
