Find the consumer price index number for the year 2010 using year 2000 as the base year by using method of weighted aggregates
Commodity A B C D E
Year 2000 price
(in Rs. per unit) 16 40 0.50 5.12 2.00
Year 2010 price
(in Rs. per unit) 20 60 0.50 6.25 1.50
Weights 40 25 5.00 20.00 10.00

Solution

Commodity Year 2000 price
base Price
$(P_{0})$ Year 2010 price
current price
$(P_{1})$
Weights
$(W)$ $P_{0} W$ $P_{1} W$
A 16.00 20.00 40 640.0 800.0
B 40.00 60.00 25 1000.0 1500.0
C 0.50 0.50 05 2.5 2.5
D 5.12 6.25 20 102.4 125.0
E 2.00 1.50 10 20.0 15.0
$\sum P_{0} W = 1764.9$ $\sum P_{1} W = 2442.5$

Hence, the price index using weighted aggregate

$P_{01} = \frac{\sum P_{1} W}{\sum P_{0} W} \times 100 = \frac{2442.5}{1764.9} \times 100 = 138.39$
