Distinguish Between
Solution
| Simple index numbers | Weighted index numbers | |
| 1) | Simple index numbers is a method of constructing an index number in which every commodity is given equal importance. | Weighted index numbers is a method of constructing an index number in which suitable weights are assigned to various commodities. |
| 2) | This method can be applied to determine the price index number, quantity index number, and value index number. | The method can be applied to determine price index numbers and the special-purpose index numbers. |
| 3) | It is the easiest method for constructing index numbers. | It is relatively complex as compared to simple index numbers. |
