Question
Find the Value Index Number using Simple Aggregate Method in the following example.
| Commodity | Base Year | Current Year | ||
| Price | Quantity | Price | Quantity | |
| A | 30 | 22 | 40 | 18 |
| B | 40 | 16 | 60 | 12 |
| C | 10 | 38 | 15 | 24 |
| D | 50 | 12 | 60 | 16 |
| E | 20 | 28 | 25 | 36 |
Solution
| Commodity | Base year | Current year | p0q0 | p1q1 | ||
| p0 | q0 | p1 | q1 | |||
| A | 30 | 22 | 40 | 18 | 660 | 720 |
| B | 40 | 16 | 60 | 12 | 640 | 720 |
| C | 10 | 38 | 15 | 24 | 380 | 360 |
| D | 50 | 12 | 60 | 16 | 600 | 960 |
| E | 20 | 28 | 25 | 36 | 560 | 900 |
| Total | - | - | - | - | 2840 | 3660 |
From the table, `sum "p"_0"q"_0 = 2840, sum"p"_1"q"_1 = 3660`
Value Index Number (V01) = `(sum"p"_1"q"_1)/(sum "p"_0"q"_0) xx 100`
`= 3660/2840 xx 100`
= 128.87
