Solution

Commodity	Base Year		Current Year		q₀q₁	`sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)`	`"p"_0 sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)`	`"p"_1 sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)`
Commodity	p₀	q₀	p₁	q₁	q₀q₁	`sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)`	`"p"_0 sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)`	`"p"_1 sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)`
I	10	12	20	9	108	10.39	103.9	207.8
II	20	4	25	8	32	5.66	113.2	141.5

IV	60	29	75	36	1044	32.31	1938.6	2423.25
Total	-	-	-	-		-	2717.6	3521.75

From the table,

`sum "p"_0 sqrt("q"_0"q"_1) = 2717.6, sum "p"_1 sqrt("q"_0"q"_1) = 3521.75`

Walsh’s Price Index Number:

`"P"_01 ("W") = (sum "p"_1 sqrt("q"_0"q"_1))/(sum "p"_0 sqrt ("q"_0"q"_1)) xx 100`

`= 3521.75/2717.6 xx 100`

= 129.59

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
Commodity	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`

Complete the following activity to calculate, Laspeyre's and Paasche's Price Index Number for the following data :

II	10	42	20	16

Solution:

Commodity	Base Year		Current Year		p₁q₀	p₀q₀	p₁q₁	p₀q₁
	p₀	q₀	p₁	q₁	p₁q₀	p₀q₀	p₁q₁	p₀q₁
I	8	30	12	25	360	240	300	200
II	10	42	20	16	840	420	320	160
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`
