The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and the Standard Poors 500 (SP 500) indexes are used as measures of overall movement in the stock market The DJIA is based on the price movements of 30 large companies: the SP 500 is an index composed of 500 stocks. Some say the SP 500 is a better measure of stock market performance because it is broader based. The closing price for the DJIA and the SP 500 for 15 weeks, beginning with January 6, 2012, follow (Barrons web site, April 17, 2012). a. Develop a scatter chart for these data with DJIA as the independent variable. What does the scatter chart indicate about the relationship between DJIA and SP 500? b. Develop an estimated regression equation showing how SP 500 is related to DJIA. What is the estimated regression model? c. What is the 95% confidence interval for the regression parameter 1? Based on this interval, what conclusion can you make about the hypotheses that the regression parameter 1 is equal to zero? d. What is the 95% confidence interval for the regression parameter 0? Based on this interval, what conclusion can you make about the hypotheses that the regression parameter 0 is equal to zero? e. How much of the variation in the sample values of SP 500 does the model estimated in part (b) explain? f. Suppose that the closing price for the DJIA is 13,500. Estimate the closing price for the SP 500. g. Should we be concerned that the DJIA value of 13,500 used to predict the SP 500 value in part (f) is beyond the range of the DJIA used to develop the estimated regression equation?
Assume that you’ve just inherited $500,000 and have decided to invest a big chunk of it ($350,000, to be exact) in common stocks. Your objective is to build up as much capital as you can over the next 15 to 20 years, and you’re willing to tolerate a “good deal’’ of risk. What types of stocks (blue chips, income stocks, and so on) do you think you’d be most interested in, and why? Select at least three types of stocks and briefly explain the rationale for selecting each. Would your selections change if you were dealing with a smaller amount of money—say, only $50,000? What if you were a more risk-averse investor?
A benchmark market value index is comprised of three stocks. Yesterday the three stocks were priced at $16, $26, and $55. The number of outstanding shares for each is 750,000 shares, 650,000 shares, and 350,000 shares, respectively. If the stock prices changed to $20, $24, and $57 today respectively, what is the 1-day rate of return on the index?
There are three stocks in a price-weighted index: A $100 B $20 C $60 a. What is the average value for the index? b. Assume stock A goes down by 25 percent and stock B goes up by 25 percent, and stock C remains the same. What is the new average value for the index? c. Explain why in part b the average changed with two stocks moving up and down by the same percentage amount.

An equal-weighted index is composed of 3 stocks. Stock A is trading at $53, stock B at $75 and stock C at $81. One year later, stock A is now worth $41, stock B is $76, and stock C is $128. Neither of the 3 stocks have paid any dividends. The total return for this index is closest to: Question 6 options: A) 166.50% B) 12.24% C) 81.99%
A price-weighted index consists of Stocks A, B, and C which are priced at $50, $35, and $15 a share, respectively. The current index divisor is 3. What will the new index divisor be if Stock A undergoes a 5-for-1 stock split? (show your steps)

The following three defense stocks are to be combined into a stock index in January 2019 (perhaps a portfolio manager believes these stocks are an appropriate benchmark for his or her performance). Assume the index is scaled by a factor of 10 million; that is, if the total value of all firms in the market is $5 billion, the index would be quoted as 500.
