$\Sigma\text{p}_0=30$
$\Sigma\text{p}_1=42$
$\Sigma\text{p}_2=56$
$\Sigma\Big(\frac{\text{p}_1}{\text{p}_0}\times100\Big)=686.66$
$\Sigma\Big(\frac{\text{p}_2}{\text{p}_0}\times100\Big)=940$
  1. Simple Aggregative Price Index:
$\text{p}_{01}=\frac{\Sigma\text{p}_1}{\Sigma\text{p}_0}\times100$

$=\frac{42}{30}\times100=140$ (For 2016)

$\text{p}_{02}=\frac{\Sigma\text{p}_2}{\Sigma\text{p}_0}\times100$

$=\frac{56}{30}\times100=186.66$ (For 2017)
  1. Index of Average of price Relatives:
$\text{P}_{01}=\frac{\Sigma\Big(\frac{\text{p}_1}{\text{p}_0}\times100\Big)}{\text{N}}=\frac{686.66}{5}=137.33$

$\text{P}_{02}=\frac{\Sigma\Big(\frac{\text{p}_2}{\text{p}_0}\times100\Big)}{\text{N}}=\frac{940}{5}=188$
