#### Question 1:

Using Simple Aggregate Method and Price Relatives Method, find out index values for the year 2018 from the following data:

 Items A B C D E 2004 Price (₹) 15 33 38 25 50 2018 Price (₹) 30 35 57 35 63

Simple Aggregate Method

 Items 2004 Price (P0) 2018 Price (P1) A B C D E 15 33 38 25 50 30 35 57 35 63 ΣP0 = 161 ΣP1 = 220

Price Relative Method

 Items 2004 Price (P0) 2018 Price (P1) Price relative =$\frac{{P}_{1}}{{P}_{0}}×100$ A 15 30 $\frac{30}{15}×100=200$ B 33 35 $\frac{35}{33}×100=106.06$ C 38 57 $\frac{57}{38}×100=150$ D 25 35 $\frac{35}{25}×100=140$ E 50 63 $\frac{63}{50}×100=126$ N = 5 $\mathrm{\Sigma }\left(\frac{{\mathrm{P}}_{1}}{{\mathrm{P}}_{0}}×100\right)=722.06$

#### Question 2:

Find out index value by the Price Relative Method for the year 2018 from the following data:

 Items A B C D E F G 2004 Price (₹) 100 10 5 4 1 2 3 2018 Price (₹) 100 9 4 2 1 2.50 2.25

 Items 2004 Price (P0) 2018 Price (P1) Price relative $=\frac{{\mathbit{P}}_{\mathbf{1}}}{{\mathbit{P}}_{\mathbf{0}}}\mathbf{×}\mathbf{100}$ A 100 100 $\frac{100}{100}×100=100$ B 10 9 $\frac{9}{10}×100=90$ C 5 4 $\frac{4}{5}×100=80$ D 4 2 $\frac{2}{4}×100=50$ E 1 1 $\frac{1}{1}×100=100$ F 2 2.50 $\frac{2.50}{2}×100=125$ G 3 2.25 $\frac{2.25}{3}×100=75$ N = 7 $\mathrm{\Sigma }\left(\frac{{P}_{1}}{{P}_{0}}×100\right)=620$

Hence, Price Index = 88.57

#### Question 3:

Construct an index number by Price Relatives Method using 2004 as base year:

 Goods A B C D 2004 Price (₹) 8 10 15 20 2017 Price (₹) 10 12 18 22 2018 Price (₹) 12 14 20 25

 Goods 2004 Price (P0) 2017 Price (P1) 2018 Price (P2) Price relatives of 2017 in relation to 2004 $\left(\frac{{\mathbit{P}}_{\mathbf{1}}}{{\mathbit{P}}_{\mathbf{0}}}\mathbf{×}\mathbf{100}\right)$ Price relatives of 2018 in relation to 2004 $\left(\frac{{\mathbit{P}}_{\mathbf{2}}}{{\mathbit{P}}_{\mathbf{0}}}\mathbf{×}\mathbf{100}\right)$ A 8 10 12 $\frac{10}{8}×100=125$ $\frac{12}{8}×100=150$ B 10 12 14 $\frac{12}{10}×100=120$ $\frac{14}{10}×100=140$ C 15 18 20 $\frac{18}{15}×100=120$ $\frac{20}{15}×100=133.33$ D 20 22 25 $\frac{22}{20}×100=110$ $\frac{25}{20}×100=125$ N  = 4 $\mathrm{\Sigma }\left(\frac{{P}_{1}}{{P}_{0}}×100\right)=475$ $\mathrm{\Sigma }\left(\frac{{P}_{2}}{{P}_{0}}×100\right)=548.33$

${P}_{01}=\frac{\mathrm{\Sigma }\left(\frac{{P}_{1}}{{P}_{0}}×100\right)}{N}=\frac{475}{4}=118.75\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}{P}_{02}=\frac{\mathrm{\Sigma }\left(\frac{{P}_{2}}{{P}_{0}}×100\right)}{N}=\frac{548.33}{4}=137.08$

#### Question 4:

 Goods Weight 2004 2017 2018 A B C 5 3 2 10 5 4 12 6 5 14 8 7

Construction of Price Index for the year 2017

 Goods Weight (W) 2004 Price (P0) 2017 Price (P1) $\mathbit{R}\mathbf{=}\frac{{\mathbit{P}}_{\mathbf{1}}}{{\mathbit{P}}_{\mathbf{0}}}\mathbf{×}\mathbf{100}$ RW A 5 10 12 $\frac{12}{10}×100=120$ 600 B 3 5 6 $\frac{6}{5}×100=120$ 360 C 2 4 5 $\frac{5}{4}×100=125$ 250 ΣW = 10 ΣRW = 1210

Construction of Price Index for the year 2018

 Goods Weight (W) 2004 Price (P0) 2018 Price (P2) $\mathbit{R}\mathbf{=}\frac{{\mathbit{P}}_{2}}{{\mathbit{P}}_{\mathbf{0}}}\mathbf{×}\mathbf{100}$ RW A 5 10 14 $\frac{14}{10}×100=140$ 700 B 3 5 8 $\frac{8}{5}×100=160$ 480 C 2 4 7 $\frac{7}{4}×100=175$ 350 ΣW = 10 ΣRW = 1530

#### Question 1:

Taking 2004 as base year, construct the index numbers of the years 2014 and 2018.

 Year 2004 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Prices (₹) 10 14 16 20 22 24

 Year Price 2004 10 2014 $\overline{)14}$ 2015 16 2016 20 2017 22 2018 $\overline{)24}$

Since, base year is given as 2004
P0 = 10
Index number for year 2014

Here, P1 = 14

Index number for year 2018
Here, P1 = 24
Substituting the values in the formula
${\mathrm{P}}_{01}=\frac{24}{10}×100=240$

#### Question 2:

Construct index number by Price Relative Method taking 2004 as base year:

 Year A B C D 2004 2016 2017 2018 25 20 25 28 18 22 20 24 16 24 25 30 21 22 25 26

Here, we construct the index number for each of the years from 2016-2018.
Base Year 2004, Current year 2016

 2004 ( P0) 2016 (P1) Price Relative = $\frac{{P}_{1}}{{P}_{0}}×100$ A 25 20 $\frac{20}{25}×100=80$ B 18 22 $\frac{22}{18}×100=122.22$ C 16 24 $\frac{24}{16}×100=150$ D 21 22 $\frac{22}{21}×100=104.76$ ∑ =456.96

According to the Price Relative Method, price index is calculated using the following formula.

${\mathrm{P}}_{01}=\frac{456.98}{4}=114.245$
Base Year 2004, Current year 2017
 2004 (P0) 2017 (P1) Price Relative = $\frac{{P}_{1}}{{P}_{0}}×100$ A 25 25 $\frac{25}{25}×100=100$ B 18 20 C 16 25 $\frac{25}{16}×100=156.25$ D 21 25 $\frac{25}{21}×100=119.04$ ∑= 486.4

${P}_{01}=\frac{486.4}{4}=121.60$
Base Year 2004, Current Year 2018

 2004 (P0) 2018 (P1) Price Relative = $\frac{{P}_{1}}{{P}_{0}}×100$ A 25 28 $\frac{28}{25}×100=280$ B 18 24 $\frac{24}{18}×100=133.33$ C 16 30 $\frac{30}{16}×100=187.5$ D 21 26 $\frac{26}{21}×100=123.80$ ∑ 556.63

${P}_{01}=\frac{556.63}{4}=139.157$
