Question
Solve the following problem:
If find x is Walsh’s Price Index Number is 150 for the following data
| Commodity | Base Year | Current Year | ||
| Price p0 |
Quantity q0 |
Price p1 |
Quantity q1 |
|
| A | 5 | 3 | 10 | 3 |
| B | x | 4 | 16 | 9 |
| C | 15 | 5 | 23 | 5 |
| D | 10 | 2 | 26 | 8 |
Solution
| Commodity | Base Year | Current Year | ||||||
| p0 | q0 | p1 | q1 | q0q1 | `bb(sqrt("q"_0"q"_1))` | `bb("p"_1sqrt("q"_0"q"_1))` | `bb("p"_0sqrt("q"_0"q"_1))` | |
| A | 5 | 3 | 10 | 3 | 9 | 3 | 30 | 15 |
| B | x | 4 | 16 | 9 | 36 | 6 | 96 | 6x |
| C | 15 | 5 | 23 | 5 | 25 | 5 | 115 | 75 |
| D | 10 | 2 | 26 | 8 | 16 | 4 | 104 | 40 |
| Total | – | – | – | – | – | – | 345 | 6x + 130 |
From the table,
`sum"p"_1sqrt("q"_0"q"_1) = 345, sum"p"_0sqrt("q"_0"q"_1) = 6x + 130`
Walsh’s Price Index Number:
P01(W) = `(sum"p"_1sqrt("q"_0"q"_1))/(sum"p"_0sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)) xx 100`
∴ 150 = `(345)/(6x + 130) xx 100` ...[∵ P01(W) = 150]
∴ 6x + 130 = `(345 xx 100)/(150)`
∴ 6x + 130 = 230
∴ 6x = 230 – 130
∴ 6x = 100
∴ x = `(100)/(6)`
∴ x = 16.67

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`
