Introduction:
Stock exchanges are markets where securities can be bought as well as sold. New York Stock Exchange is one amongst the several markets where the investors can sell their shares or they could purchase their shares or stocks.
Stock Market Indexes are indicators of performance of the stock market.
Dow is the best known measure of the stock market performance.
Price weighted average is an average which is obtained by adding the stock prices and dividing it by a divisor.
Requirement 1
Answer to Problem 11PS
The rate of return on the price-weighted index for the first period for the three stocks is 4.17%
Explanation of Solution
Pt represents the price of a stock at time t and Qt represents the outstanding shares at time t. Stock C is split 2 for 1 in last period.

- An analyst has modeled the stock of a company using the Fama-French three-factor model. The market return is 10%, the return on the SMB portfolio (rSMB) is 3.2%, and the return on the HML portfolio (rHML) is 4.8%.

The stock is expected to have a yearend dividend of $4 per share (D1 = $4), and it is expected to grow at some constant rate, g, throughout time. The stock’s required rate of return is 14% (assume the market is in equilibrium with the required return equal to the expected return).
