 | | Inflation simply is an increase in prices and the measure of inflation is the inflation rate -which is the percentage increase in the level of prices. | | | The price indexes (expressed here in units of 100.0) are calculated by dividing the expenditure in each period by the expenditure of the base period. | | | A constant price estimate is a current price estimate revalued using the prices of a base period. |

| | The index is a weighted sum of the estimated prices of the individual stocks. | | | However, the ratios of prices in successive financings of a company did not appear to vary on the average between those that had new investors in both transactions and all other cases (a new investor in the first only, a new investor in the second only, or missing information regarding new investors). | | | All indices assume that the observed stock prices are "market prices" and that such market prices are available for all members of the index. |

| | Decision Point ®: Unweighted Market Indexes |
| | Alternatives to arithmetic averaging require the use of logarithms or "price relatives" in order to account for the previous performance of an individual stock, which in effect causes the resulting index to become price-weighted. | | | Unfortunately, using them to analyze their cap-weighted price indexes is not always effective because the movement of the price index is determined by the weight of a just a few stocks. | | | This means that the daily impact of a stock's price change upon a given market index is weighted by multiplying its price by the number of shares outstanding. |

| | For example, the DJIA is price weighted, as is Japan’s Nikkei 225. | | | In contrast, equal-weighted indexes and averages give equal emphasis to the price movements of all the stocks they measure, so the price change of every company in the index has the same impact on the changing value of the index. | | | Most stock indexes and averages are weighted, which means that some stocks in the index have a larger impact on the calculation than others because they are assigned a greater value. |

| | Equal-Weighted Indexes |
| | In equal-weighted indexes, all stocks receive the same weighting regardless of their size or share price. | | | A company's weight in an index is determined by its total market capitalization, or the share price multiplied by total shares outstanding. | | | There are three common systems for determining a stock's weight in an index: market-capitalization weighting, price weighting, and equal weighting. |

| | Index Descriptions |
| | The day-to-day price change in each issue is weighted by its market value (as of the start of the day) as a percent of the total market value for all components. | | | However, the system makes a price adjustment to account for the increased number of shares with the result being that the current market value does not change. | | | The representation of each security in the Index is proportional to its last sale price times the total number of shares outstanding, relative to the total market value of the respective index. |

| | Stock Indexes |
| | In a price-weighted index, a change in the stock price of the largest company in the index would influence the average no more than an equal change in the stock price of the smallest company in the index. | | | While a one dollar price change in one stock in a simple stock price index will have the same effect as a one dollar change in any other stock, a given percentage increase of a higher price stock influences the index more than a corresponding percentage increase of a lower price stock. | | | By definition, a stock price index considers only the prices of the underlying stocks and not the dividends paid. |

| | Also, they're easier to explain, since the index value can be compared to individual stock prices. | | | So I can average a bunch of bond prices or preferred stock prices and get a meaningful answer. | | | Another reason price weighting made sense in the past is that stock had a closer relation to its par value. |

| | Has the Dow Really Escaped the Bear?: Graziadio Business Report |
| | Value-weighted indices are calculated from market capitalization (shares outstanding x stock price) weights, or simply the market value of a company's stock outstanding. | | | Companies with higher share prices are given more weight in the DJIA calculation. | | | The reason this occurred is due to the difference in share prices. |

| | In the Dow Jones Industrial Average, by contrast, the 30 stocks comprising the index are weighted according to price. | | | The higher a stock's price is driven, the bigger its market cap becomes. | | | Since there are 500 stocks in the index, its overall movement will be influenced more heavily by price changes in the stocks with the heaviest weightings (and largest market capitalization). |

| | Calculating The Dow Jones Industrial Average |
| | To absorb the effects of price changes from splits, those calculating the DJIA developed the Dow divisor, a number adjusted to account for events like splits that is used as the divisor in the calculation of the average. | | | For example, if a company trading at $100 implemented a 2-for-1 split, the number of its shares doubles, and the price of each share becomes $50. | | | To figure out how a change in any particular stock affects the amount the index changes, up or down, divide the stock's price change by the current divisor. |
