Each Stock's Rate of Return in a Given Year Consists

question 16

True/False

Each stock's rate of return in a given year consists of a dividend yield (which might be zero) plus a capital gains yield (which could be positive, negative, or zero). Such returns are calculated for all the stocks in the S&P 500. A simple average of those returns is then calculated, and that average is called "the return on the S&P Index," and it is often used as an indicator of the "return on the market."
