Buffet’s ‘Desert Island’ Question

Buffet’s ‘Desert Island’ Question
I can easily name a number of companies that should still be surviving and doing well after 10 years $Berkshire Hathaway-A (BRK.A.US)$ $Berkshire Hathaway-B (BRK.B.US)$ $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ $Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$ $McDonald's (MCD.US)$ $Procter & Gamble (PG.US)$ $Coca-Cola (KO.US)$ $Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.US)$ but the problem with this hypothetical question is it doesn’t take into account the cost of the position. Even for a passive ETF that tracks the index, the cost of the position will impact the amount of returns; this is why DCA is so useful for averaging out the costs.

If we were to disregard the cost factor, my pick would be the S&P 500 $SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY.US)$ $iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV.US)$ $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO.US)$ $ as it tracks the performance of 500 top companies in the US and the constituents will be adjusted over the years.
