Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a scenario in which an economy uses several index numbers to track inflation. If the price of essential goods has risen by 50% and luxuries by only 10%, discuss how using weights in the Weighted Index Method would adjust the index compared to a Simple Aggregate Method.

💡 Hint: Think through how different weights would elevate certain impacts.

Question 2

You have price data for apples, oranges, and bananas for both current and base periods. If apples were weighted at 4, oranges at 2, and bananas at 1, show how to calculate the overall index number reflecting this information.

💡 Hint: Structure your work by first listing out your items and their weights.
