- What are some comments that can be made on this? The stock market crash of 2020 is the largest index point plunge in U.S history. Starting March 9 2020, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index suffered one of three point drops. This is sufficient because stock market indexes are a measure of market sentiment. The most common stock indexes are the Dow Jones industrial average, S and P 500, and the Nasdaq stock market composite. The Dow Jones index is price averages while the s and p 500 and the nasdaq stock market composite are market capitalization weighted. When the Dow Jones drops 20.3% in a matter of days, this meant that there were negative market sentiment factors at play.

- Questions 12 and 13 are based on the information below. An older article in The Wall Street Journal included the following paragraph: “Based on the S&P 500’s current multiple of 16.8 times earnings over the past 12 months, according to Thomson Reuters, investors are anticipating modest inflation. Since 1950, in periods when inflation ran between 2% and 4% [as it has through much of this decade], stocks traded at an average price/earnings ratio of 17.4, according to Strategas Research Partners. But in a 4% to 6% inflation environment, the average P/E ratio dropped to 14.7. Use the data to calculate the Rate of Return based on the Earnings Yield model for time periods when inflation ranged from 2% to 4%. Use the mid-point of the inflation range to derive the numbers and enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimals.
