INDEX NUMBERS •SPECIAL AVERAGE DESIGNED TO MEASURE THE CHANGE IN A GROUP OF RELATED VARIABLE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. FEATURES:1] Special type of averages. 2] Measured in percentages 3] Change may be single variable or a group of variables. 4] Used for comparison. 5] Capable of measuring special changes;-cost of living and prices. 1

IMPORTANCE OF INDEX NUMBER :1] IN FRAMING ECO POLICIES-In Industries,its directors would wish to know about supply and wage distribution. Govt has to study price n cost of living index for future planning of country. 2] MEASURING PRICE LEVEL OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. Value of money is inversely proportional to price level. Purchasing power is value of money. 2

3]USEFUL IN DEFLATING:-they r used to adjust the original data for price changes or to adjust the original data for cost of living changes n thus transform nominal wages to real wages.

3

CLASSIFICATION OF INDEX NUMBERS:In eco n business the classifications are: 3. Price. 4. Quantity. 5. Value. 6. Special purpose.

4

PROBLEMS IN CONSTRUCTION OF INDEX NUMBERS • PURPOSE OF INDEX NUMBER-Must be clear. What the index is to measure n why? • SELECTION OF BASE PERIODBASE PERIOD-Period with which other periods r to be compared. Thus, prices in BP r to be compared. Thus, prices in BP r taken as standard prices and are taken as 100. 5

Following two points must be taken into care:2. Should not be too far from the current period.-thus we can calculate number with base for a period of about 10 years, after which it may not serve the purpose we desire due to difference in taste, change in price, growth of population. 3. Should not be an abnormal period:-BP should be free from any type of turmoil or abnormality etc. period, containing wars, famines, booms, depressions,strikes,earthquake should not be taken as base.

6

Two methods of selecting base period :2. Fixed base method:-Here, one period is taken as base with its index as 100.other values are compared with it only to get other indices. Price Relative For Current Year:-Current Year’s Price*100/Base Year’s Price. 2.Chain Base Method:-By taking preceding period as base, we prepare the link relatives. This method removes the shortcomings of 1st method i.e far from the current period ad normal periods. Price Relative For Current Year;-Current Year' Price*100/PrecedingYear’sPrice. 7

3.SELECTION OF ITEMS AND THEIR NUMBERS-Which terms are to be included to compare in order to get Index number is extremely important. The items to be included must have following properties:• Should be stable in quality, should be graded or standardized . • Should not be variable in character so that it is ensured that we are comparing the same items over a period of time. • Item should be true representatives of habits ,tastes,customs,traditions and needs of people. 8

• Number of items should neither be too large nor too small. • Non tangible items should not be included. 4. CHOICE OF PRICE QUOTATION:Price differ from place to place,from wholesale to retail sale.So great care has to be taken while taking quotations. • Price can be quoted in 2 ways.Eg:Sugar=14/- per Kg or Potatoes=50 gms a Rupee. 9

14/- per Kg IS MONEY PRICE. 1/2 Kg a Rupee IS QUANTITY OR INVERSE PRICE. • All the commodities are sold at differet places at different prices.So we should select a place where price is most stable and hence will be representative. • Whether wholesale or retail sale price:- Retail sale price often differ at different places but wholesale price are not much variable,hence we should include wholesale price. 10

• Should not be affected by the personal biases.So persons must be fully qualified to perform this duty. • How many quotations to be considered:Number of quotations must be fairly large and moreover average of these quotations should be taken.

11

5. CHOICE OF AVERAGES:Which average is to be used for price relatives as we have too many averages such as:A.M=Affected by extreme values,so not suitable. MEDIAN AND MODE=Are positional measures and don’t include all the items for calculations,hence not suitable. GEOMETRIC MEAN=Such average removes all the shortcomings mentioned above and hence considered good for this purpose. 12

6.WEIGHTING SYSTEM:-There are two types of index numbers:2. Weighted Indices. 3. Unweighted Indices. 7.SELECTION OF APPROPIATE FORMULA:The choice of formula would depend not only on the purpose of the indices but also on the data available. 13

Two types of formula:2. Unweighted Indices Formula a. Simple aggregative method. b. Simple Average of relatives method 2. Weighted average of relatives method . a. Weighted average of relatives. b.Weighted aggregative. 14

UNWEIGHTED AGGREGATES INDEX SIMPLE AGGREGATIVE METHOD:-SIMPLEST. STEPS:4. ADD THE CURRENT YEAR PRICES FOR VARIOUS COMMODITIES i.e OBTAIN ∑P1. 5. ADD BASE YEAR PRICES FOR SAME COMMODITIES i.e OBTAIN ∑Po. 6. DIVIDE ∑P1 BY ∑Po AND MULTIPLY BY 100.

SOLN:∑Po=162, ∑P1=175 175*100/162=108.02. IF 2007 IS TAKEN AS BASE YEAR 162*100/175=92.57. INDEX NUMBERS ARE NOT MEANT FOR PRICES ONLY,IT CAN ALSO BE APPLIED TO QUATITIES OR VOLUMES ALSO. 18

MERITS:2. SIMPLEST METHOD TO FOLLOW. DEMERITS:5. ALL COMMODITIES ARE GIVEN EQUAL IMPORTANCE,WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE. 6. UNITS USED IN PRICE OR QUANTITY CAN EXERT A BIG INFLUENCE ON THE VALUE OF INDEX

19

SIMPLE AVERAGE OF RELATIVE METHOD USING A.M:- P01=∑P*100/N P=P1/P0. P1=PRICE OF INDIVIDUAL COMMODITY IN CURRENT YEAR. Po=PRICE OF INDIVIDUAL COMMODITY IN BASE YEAR. •

USING G.M:P01=ANTILOG{∑ LOG(P1*100/P0)/N}. USING MEDIAN:-P01 CAN ALSO BE CALCULATED. PROBLEM:-USING SIMPLE AVERAGE OF RELATIVES METHOD,COMPUTE INDEX NUMBER FOR THE YEAR 1997 USING 1990 PRICES AS BASE. 21
