The one day rate of return on the stock is 1.49%

We arrive at the answer in the following manner:

First we need to calculate yesterday's and today's index values.

For that we need to find weights of each day based on market capitalization.

$Market Capitalization _{ a stock} = Market Price * No .of outstanding shares$

The weight of a company in the index is calculated by dividing the market capitalization of a company by the total market capitalization of all the companies whose shares are a part of the index.

$Weight_{Company A} =\frac{Mkt Cap of company A}{Total Market cap}$

Then, we multiply the share price of each company with their respective weights and find the total to arrive at the index value for one day.

Yesterday's Index Value

Stock Price No. of shares Mkt Cap Weight Weight*Price

A 12 600000 7200000 0.25 2.96 (0.25*12)

B 20 500000 10000000 0.34 6.85(0.34*20)

C 60 200000 12000000 0.41 24.66 (0.41*60)

Total 29200000 1.00 34.47

We calculate the weight for stock A as follows:

$Weight_{A} =\frac{72,00,000}{2,92,00,000} = 0.2466 = 0.25$

We calculate the weights of the remaining stocks in a similar manner.

Please note that the sum total of all weights must add up to 1.

The sum total of the last column (Price * Weight) is yesterday's index value.

We repeat the same steps with today's market price to arrive at today's index value.

Today's index Value

Stock Price No. of shares Mkt Cap Weight Weight*Price

A 16 600000 96,00,000 0.31 4.95 (0.31*16)

B 18 500000 90,00,000 0.29 5.23 (0.29*18)

C 62 200000 1,24,00,000 0.40 24.80(0.40*62)

Total 3,10,00,000 1.00 34.98

One-day Rate of Return

We can calculate the one day rate of return on the index as follows:

$Rate of return = [\frac{(Today's index value - Yesterday's index value}{Yesterday's index value}) * 100$

$Rate of Return = ( \frac{34.98 - 34.47}{34.47}) * 100$

$Rate of return = (\frac{0.51}{34.47}) *100$

Rate of return = 0.01494 or 1.49%

Answer from: Quest

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (gdp) and other macroeconomic variables. a business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. the duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. but the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.
