Question

Calculate Walsh’s Price Index Number.

Commodity Base Year Current Year
Price Quantity Price Quantity
L 4 16 3 19
M 6 16 8 14
N 8 28 7 32
Sum

Solution

Commodity Base Year Current Year q0q1 `sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)` `"p"_0 sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)` `"p"_1 sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)`
p0 q0 p1 q1
L 4 16 3 19 304 17.44 69.76 52.32
M 6 16 8 14 224 14.97 89.82 119.76
N 8 28 7 32 896 29.93 239.44 209.51
Total - - - -   - 399.02 381.59

From the table,

`sum "p"_0 sqrt("q"_0"q"_1) = 399.02, sum "p"_1 sqrt("q"_0"q"_1) = 381.59`

Walsh’s Price Index Number:

`"P"_01 ("W") = (sum "p"_1 sqrt("q"_0"q"_1))/(sum "p"_0 sqrt ("q"_0"q"_1)) xx 100`

`= 381.59/399.02 xx 100`

= 95.63

Given P01(M-E) = 120, `sum"p"_1"q"_1` = 300, `sum"p"_0"q"_0` = 120, `sum"p"_0"q"_1` = 320, Find P01(L)


In the following table, Laspeyre's and Paasche's Price Index Numbers are equal. Complete the following activity to find x :

Commodity Base Year Current year
Price Quantity Price Quantity
A 2 10 2 5
B 2 5 x 2

Solution: P01(L) = P01(P)

`(sum "p"_1"q"_0)/(sum "p"_0"q"_0) xx 100 = square/(sum "p"_0"q"_1) xx 100`

`(20 + 5x)/square xx 100 = square/14 xx 100`

∴ x = `square`

Solution:

Commodity Base Year Current Year p1q0 p0q0 p1q1 p0q1
  p0 q0 p1 q1
I 8 30 12 25 360 240 300 200
II 10 42 20 16 840 420 320 160
Total         `bb(sump_1q_0=1200)` `bb(sump_0q_0=660)` `bb(sump_1q_1=620)` `bb(sump_0q_1=360)`

Laspeyre's Price Index Number:

P01(L) = `(sum"p"_1"q"_0)/(sum"p"_0"q"_0) xx 100 = square/660xx100`

∴ P01(L) = `square`

Paasche 's Price Index Number:

P01(P) = `(sum"p"_1"q"_1)/(sum"p"_0"q"_1) xx 100=(620)/(square) xx 100`

∴ P01(P) = `square`
