04/12/01 GS: Equity Module, Session 6 Copyright Marshall, Tucker & Associates, LLC Stock Market Indexes Many different averages Dow averages (DJIA) S&P indexes (500) Russell indexes Four differences What market? What types of stock? How many stocks? How computed?

04/12/01 GS: Equity Module, Session 6 Copyright Marshall, Tucker & Associates, LLC Stock Market Indexes (cont’d) Price-weighted index Stocks held in proportion to share price DJIA Value-weighted index Stocks held in proportion to total company market value S&P 500 Index staleness

04/12/01 GS: Equity Module, Session 6 Copyright Marshall, Tucker & Associates, LLC Major Stock Indexes

04/12/01 GS: Equity Module, Session 6 Copyright Marshall, Tucker & Associates, LLC Price vs. value weighting Suppose we have the following Price per share # shares outstanding Beg. Year End Year Worf Co.100 million $10$ 9 Dax Inc.10 million $20$25 How did the market do for the year? Price weighted: $15 to $17, or 13.33% Beg.= (10+20) / 2 = $15; End = (9+25) / 2 = $17 Value weighted: $1.2B to $1.15B, or -4.17% Beg. = [(100 M x 10) + (10 M x 20)] / 2 = $600 M End = [(100 M x 9) + (10 M x 25)] / 2 = $575 M

04/12/01 GS: Equity Module, Session 6 Copyright Marshall, Tucker & Associates, LLC More on price weighting A splitting headache……… Suppose Dax splits 4-for-1 Price falls to $5 Shares go to $40 million Value weighted index not affected Finding the new divisor ($10 +$5)/d = $15, so d=1, down from 2. DJIA divisor at in 1999 Which is better: price or value?

04/12/01 GS: Equity Module, Session 6 Copyright Marshall, Tucker & Associates, LLC Problem Suppose there are only two stocks in the market and the following information is given: Price weighted = ( ) / 2 = $55 at beginning of year Price weighted = ( ) / 2 = $89.50 at end of year Change = ( ) / 55 = 62.73% increase Value weighted = [(200 x 30) + (50 x 80)] / 2 = $5,000 M Value weighted = [(200 x 39) + (50 x 140)] / 2 = $7,400 M Change = (7, ,000) / 5,000 = 48% increase

04/12/01 GS: Equity Module, Session 6 Copyright Marshall, Tucker & Associates, LLC Problem Suppose the following 3 defense stocks are to be combined into a stock index in January 1998 (perhaps a portfolio manager believes these stocks are an appropriate benchmark for his or her performance): a. Calculate the initial value of the index if a price-weighting scheme is used. b. what is the rate of return on this index for the year ending 12/31/98? For the year ending 12/31/99? c. What is the total return on this index over the 2-year period 1998 and 1999?

04/12/01 GS: Equity Module, Session 6 Copyright Marshall, Tucker & Associates, LLC Problem Solution A. 1/1/98: Index value = ( ) / 3 = 40 B. 1/1/99: Index value = ( ) / 3 = return = ( ) / 40 = 12.5% 1/1/00: Index value ( ) / 3 = return = ( ) / 45 = 0% C. Total 2-year index return = ( ) / 40 = 12.5%

04/12/01 GS: Equity Module, Session 6 Copyright Marshall, Tucker & Associates, LLC Problem In this problem, suppose that DM shareholders approve a 5 for 1 stock split on 1/1/99. What is the new divisor for the index? Calculate the rate of return on the index for the year ending 12/31/99. If DM’s share price on 1/1/00 is $12 per share. What is the total 2 year return on the index now?

04/12/01 GS: Equity Module, Session 6 Copyright Marshall, Tucker & Associates, LLC Problem Solution Share price after split = $75 / 5 = $15 Index value on 1/1/99, without the split is Index = ( ) / 3 = 45 New divisor: ( ) / d = 45 so d = Index value on 1/1/00 = ( ) / = return = ( ) / 45 = 16.0% Total 2-yr return = ( ) / 40 = 30.5% based on 1/1/98 index of ( )/3 = 40
