Solution
Construct the following table:
| Commodity | Base Year |
Current Year |
p0q0 | p1q0 | p0q1 | p1q1 | ||
| p0 | q0 | p1 | q1 | |||||
| I | 10 | 9 | 50 | 8 | 90 | 450 | 80 | 400 |
| II | 20 | 5 | 60 | 4 | 100 | 300 | 80 | 240 |
| III | 30 | 7 | 70 | 3 | 210 | 490 | 90 | 210 |
| IV | 40 | 8 | 80 | 2 | 320 | 640 | 80 | 160 |
| Total | – | – | – | – | 720 | 1880 | 330 | 1010 |
From the table, `sum"p"_0"q"_0` = 720, `sum"p"_1"q"_0` = 1880, `sum"p"_0"q"_1` = 330, `sum"p"_1"q"_1` = 1010
a) Laspeyre’s Price Index Number:
P01(L) = `(sum"p"_1"q"_0)/(sum"p"_0"q"_0) xx 100`
= `1880/720 xx 100`
= 261.11
b) Paasche’s Price Index Number:
P01(P) = `(sum"p"_1"q"_1)/(sum"p"_0"q"_1) xx 100`
= `1010/330 xx 100`
= 306.06
c) Drobish-Bowley’s Price Index Number:
P01(D-B) = `("P"_01("L") + "P"_01("P"))/2`
= `(261.11 + 306.06)/2`
= `567.17/2`
= 283.59

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`
