1. Find Kelly's index number
ItemPrice0Quantity0Price1Quantity1
Rice391401.5
Milk40124410
Bread452501.5
Banana302361.5


Solution:
Item`p_0``q_0``p_1``q_1``q_k=(q_0+q_1)/2``p_0q_k``p_1q_k`
Rice391401.51.2548.7550
Milk4012441011440484
Bread452501.51.7578.7587.5
Banana302361.51.7552.563
------------------------
Total`620``684.5`


1. By Kelly's Method, price index number

`I_K=(sum p_1q_k)/(sum p_0q_k) xx 100`

`=(684.5)/(620) xx 100`

`=110.4`

Thus, there is a rise of `(110.4-100)=10.4%` in prices
2. Find Kelly's index number
ItemPrice0Quantity0Price1Quantity1
A10201222
B816818
C510611
D4748


Solution:
Item`p_0``q_0``p_1``q_1``q_k=(q_0+q_1)/2``p_0q_k``p_1q_k`
A1020122221210252
B81681817136136
C51061110.552.563
D47487.53030
------------------------
Total`428.5``481`


1. By Kelly's Method, price index number

`I_K=(sum p_1q_k)/(sum p_0q_k) xx 100`

`=(481)/(428.5) xx 100`

`=112.25`

Thus, there is a rise of `(112.25-100)=12.25%` in prices
3. Find Kelly's index number
ItemPrice0Quantity0Price1Quantity1
A325528
B150360
C230130
D515612


Solution:
Item`p_0``q_0``p_1``q_1``q_k=(q_0+q_1)/2``p_0q_k``p_1q_k`
A32552826.579.5132.5

C230130306030
D51561213.567.581
------------------------
Total`262``408.5`


1. By Kelly's Method, price index number

`I_K=(sum p_1q_k)/(sum p_0q_k) xx 100`

`=(408.5)/(262) xx 100`

`=155.92`

Thus, there is a rise of `(155.92-100)=55.92%` in prices
