    Hello sir
    I hope this massage finds you well

    Question : The managers of the catering division of a hospital wish to develop an index number series for measuring changes in food prices. As an experiment, they have chosen four items in general use which are summarised below

    Price per unit Quantities
    2001 2002 2001 2002
    Flour(kg) 0.25 0.03 8000 10000
    Egg(box) 1.00 1.25 4000 5000
    Milk(lit) 0.30 0.35 10000 10000
    Potato kg 0.05 0.06 6000 10000

    Calculate a weighted price index for 20X2 for these four products (with 20X1 as the base year) using the 20X1 sales quantities as weights.

    A. 118.3
    B. 119.6
    C. 119.9
    D. 129.9

    Sir in this is question I took the 2001 shopping basket( quantities ) and I calculate how much this shop basket cost for us in 2001 and 2002 prices

    Which in 2001 shopping basket cost us 9300 in 2001 prices

    And 2001 shopping basket cost us 11260 on 2002 prices

    Then 11260/9300 x 100 = 121

    Could you please tell me sir which part of my calculation is wrong

    Thank you
