Question
Find the Price Index Number using the Simple Aggregate Method in the following example.
Assume 2000 to be base year in the following problem.
| Fruit | Unit | Price (in ₹) in 2000 |
Price (in ₹) for 2007 |
| Mango | doz | 250 | 300 |
| Banana | doz | 12 | 24 |
| Apple | kg | 80 | 110 |
| Peach | kg | 75 | 90 |
| Orange | doz | 36 | 65 |
| Sweet Lime | doz | 30 | 45 |
Solution
| Fruit | Unit | Price in 2000 (Base year) p0 |
Price in 2007 (current year) p1 |
| Mango | doz | 250 | 300 |
| Banana | doz | 12 | 24 |
| Apple | kg | 80 | 110 |
| Peach | kg | 75 | 90 |
| Orange | doz | 36 | 65 |
| Sweet Lime | doz | 30 | 45 |
| Total | 483 | 634 | |
From the table, ∑ p0 = 483, ∑ p1 = 634
Price Index Number (P01) = `(sum "p"_1)/(sum "p"_0) xx 100`
`= 634/483 xx 100`
= 131.26
