Calculate Value Index Number for the following using Simple Aggregate Method
Commodity Base Year Current Year
Price Quantity Price Quantity
A 30 13 40 15
B 40 15 70 20
C 10 12 60 22
D 50 10 90 18
E 20 14 100 16

Answer

Commodity Base Year Current Year    
$p_0$ $q_0$ $p_1$ $q_1$ $p_0q_0$ $p_1q_1$
A 30 13 40 15 390 600
B 40 15 70 20 600 1400
C 10 12 60 22 10 1320
D 50 10 90 18 500 1620
E 20 14 100 16 280 1600
Total 1890 6540
Value Index Number $\left(V_{01}\right)=\frac{\sum p_1 q_1}{\sum p_0 q_0} \times 100$
$ =\frac{6540}{1890} \times 100$
$=346.03 $

Find the population of city at any time $t$ given that rate of increase of population is proportional to the population at that instant and that in a period of 40 years the population increased from 30000 to 40000 .
Solution: Let $p$ be the population at time $t$.
Then the rate of increase of $p$ is $\frac{d p}{d t}$ which is proportional to $p$.
$\therefore \frac{ dp }{ dt } \propto p$
$\therefore \frac{ dp }{ dt }= kp$, where $k$ is a constant.
$\therefore \frac{ dp }{ p }= kdt$
On integrating, we get
$ \int \frac{ dp }{ p }= k \int dt$
$\therefore \log p = kt + c $
Initially, i.e. when $t=0$, let $p=30000$
$\therefore \log 30000= k \times 0+ c$
$\therefore c =\square$
$\therefore \log p=k t+\log 30000$
$\therefore \log p-\log 30000=k t$
$\therefore \log \left(\frac{ p }{30000}\right)= kt\ldots(i)$
when $t=40, p=40000$
$ \therefore \log \left(\frac{40000}{30000}\right)=40 k$
$\therefore k =\square $
$\therefore$ equation (1) becomes, $\log \left(\frac{p}{30000}\right)=\square$
$\therefore \log \left(\frac{ p }{30000}\right)=\frac{ t }{40} \log \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)$
$\therefore p=\square$
