Index Numbers and Time Based Data

Question:

If $∑p_1q_0=3800: ∑p_1q_1=3200: ∑p_0q_0=2600: ∑p_0q_1=3000,$ the index number using Marshall-edgeworth's method is :

Options:

80

125

117.2

85.3

Correct Answer:

125

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 125

The Marshall-edgeworth's Price index,

$I_M=\frac{∑P_1(q_0+q_1)}{∑P_0(q_0+q_1)}×100$

$=\frac{3800+3200}{2600+3000}×100$

$=\frac{7000}{5600}×100=125$
