Solution
Let us denote the missing value by x and reconstruct the table as follows.
| Commodity | Base Year | Current Year | p0q0 | p1q0 | p1q1 | p0q1 | ||
| p0 | q0 | p1 | q1 | |||||
| A | 1 | 10 | 2 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 10 | 5 |
| B | 1 | 5 | x | 12 | 5 | 5x | 1 | 12 |
| Total | 15 | 20 + 5x | 10 + 12x | 17 | ||||
The above table gives
`sum"p"0"q"_0` = 15, `sum"p"_1"q"_0` = 20 5x, `sum"p"_1"q"_1` = 10 + 12x, `sum"p"_0"q"_1` = 17
It is given that
P01(L) = P01(P)
`(sum"p"_1"q"_0)/(sum"p"_0"q"_0) xx 100`
`(sum"p"_1"q"_1)/(sum"p"_0"q"_1) xx 100`
∴ `(5x + 20)/15 = (12x + 10)/17`
∴ `(5(x + 4))/15 = (12x + 10)/17`
∴ 17(x + 4) = 3(12x + 10)
∴ 17x + 68 = 36x + 30
∴ x = 2
