Find index number using Fixed base method by taking base year 2005, Chain base method, Fixed base method by taking average of years 2009,2010,2011
YearPrice
20051650
20061690
20071730
20081750
20091810
20101850

20121900
20131950


Solution:
1. Fixed base method :

`"Index Number I"=("Price of current year")/("Price of base year") xx 100`

We will find the fixed base index number by taking 2005 as base year
Base Price = 1650 for base year 2005
The index number will be taken as 100 for the price 1650 in the base year 2005


2. Chain base method :

`"Index Number I"=("Price of current year")/("Price of preceding year") xx 100`

Price for the year 2005 is not given here.
Hence, we will take the index number for 2005 as 100.


3. Fixed base method by taking average of years :

Average price for year `2009,2010,2011` `=(1810+1850+1870)/3=1843.3333`

`"Index Number I"=("Price of current year")/("Average base price") xx 100`



YearPriceFixed base index number
base year `2005`

`=("Price of current year")/("Price of base year") xx 100`
Chain base index number

`=("Price of current year")/("Price of preceding year") xx 100`
