Question

Given the following table, find Walsh’s Price Index Number by completing the activity.

Commodity	p₀	q₀	p₁	q₁	q₀q₁	`sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)`	p₀`sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)`	p₁`sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)`
I	20	9	30	4	36	`square`	`square`	180
II	10	5	50	5	`square`	5	50	`square`
III	40	8	10	2	16	`square`	160	`square`
IV	30	4	20	1	`square`	2	`square`	40
Total	–	–	–	–			390	`square`

Walsh’s price Index Number is

P₀₁(W) = `square/(sum"p"_0sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)) xx 100`

= `510/square xx 100`

= `square`

Solution

Commodity	p₀	q₀	p₁	q₁	q₀q₁	`sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)`	p₀`sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)`	p₁`sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)`
I	20	9	30	4	36	6	120	180
II	10	5	50	5	25	5	50	250
III	40	8	10	2	16	4	160	40
IV	30	4	20	1	4	2	60	40
Total	–	–	–	–			390	510

Walsh’s price Index Number is

P₀₁(W) = `(sum"p"_1sqrt("q"_0"q"_1))/(sum"p"_0sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)) xx 100`

= `510/390 xx 100`

= 130.77
