Solution
| Commodity | 2000 (Base year) |
2010 (Current year) |
p0q0 | p0q1 | p1q0 | p1q1 | ||
| p0 | q0 | p1 | q1 | |||||
| A | 12 | 14 | 18 | 16 | 216 | 192 | 252 | 224 |
| B | 15 | 16 | 20 | 15 | 300 | 225 | 320 | 240 |
| C | 14 | 15 | 24 | 20 | 336 | 280 | 360 | 300 |
| D | 12 | 12 | 29 | 23 | 348 | 276 | 348 | 276 |
| Total | `sum"p"_0"q"_0` = 1200 | `sum"p"_0"q"_1` = 973 | `sum"p"_1"q"_0` = 1280 | `sum"p"_1"q"_1` = 1040 | ||||
(i) Laspeyre's Price Index
`"P"_01^"L" = (sum"p"_1"q"_0)/(sum"p"_0"q"_0) xx 100`
= `1280/1200 xx 100`
= 106.6
(ii) Paasche's Price Index
`"P"_01^"P" = (sum"P"_1"q"_1)/(sum"p"_0"q"_1) xx 100`
= `1040/973 xx 100`
= 106.8
(iii) Fisher’s price index number
`"P"_01^"F" = sqrt((sum"p"_1"q"_0)/(sum"p"_0"q"_0) xx (sum"p"_1"q"_1)/(sum"p"_0"q"_1)) xx 100`
= `sqrt(1280/1200 xx 1040/973) xx 100`
= `sqrt((13,31,200)/(11,67,600)) xx 100`
= `sqrt(1.14) xx 100`
= 106.7
