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)` | ||
| p0 | q0 | p1 | q1 | |||||
| I | 10 | 12 | 20 | 9 | 108 | 10.39 | 103.9 | 207.8 |
| II | 20 | 4 | 25 | 8 | 32 | 5.66 | 113.2 | 141.5 |
| III | 30 | 13 | 40 | 27 | 351 | 18.73 | 561.9 | 749.2 |
| 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
