Solution
| Commodity | Base Year | Current Year | p0q0 | p1q0 | p0q1 | p1q1 | ||
| p0 | q0 | p1 | q1 | |||||
| I | 10 | 9 | 20 | 8 | 90 | 180 | 80 | 160 |
| II | 20 | 5 | 30 | 4 | 100 | 150 | 80 | 120 |
| III | 30 | 7 | 50 | 5 | 210 | 350 | 150 | 250 |
| IV | 40 | 8 | 60 | 6 | 320 | 480 | 240 | 360 |
| Total | - | - | - | - | 720 | 1160 | 550 | 890 |
From the table,
`sum "p"_0"q"_0 = 720, sum "p"_1"q"_0 = 1160`
`sum "p"_0"q"_1 = 550, sum "p"_1"q"_1 = 890`
(i) Laspeyre’s Price Index Number:
`"P"_01 ("L") = (sum "p"_1"q"_0)/(sum "p"_0"q"_0) xx 100`
`= 1160/720 xx 100`
= 161.11
(ii) Paasche’s Price Index Number:
`"P"_01 ("P") = (sum "p"_1"q"_1)/(sum "p"_0"q"_1) xx 100`
`= 890/550 xx 100`
= 161.82
(iii) Dorbish-Bowley’s Price Index Number:
`"P"_01 ("D - B") = ("P"_01 ("L") + "P"_01 ("P"))/2`
`= (161.11 + 161.82)/2`
= 161.46
(iv) Marshall-Edgeworth’s Price Index Number:
`"P"_01 ("M- E") = (sum "p"_1"q"_0 + sum "p"_1"q"_1)/(sum "p"_0"q"_0 + sum "p"_0"q"_1) xx 100`
`= (1160 + 890)/(720 + 550) xx 100`
= 161.42

| p0 | q0 | p1 | q1 | |||||
| I | 8 | 30 | 12 | 25 | 360 | 240 | 300 | 200 |

| Total | `bb(sump_1q_0=1200)` | `bb(sump_0q_0=660)` | `bb(sump_1q_1=620)` | `bb(sump_0q_1=360)` | ||||
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`
