Ask the Tutor ACCA MA
price index
4y ago#1First you need to change the 2 years ago prices to the current prices using the index numbers provided (as I explain in my free lectures on index numbers).
Then you can use the high-low technique in the normal way, as again I explain in my free lectures.
Have you actually watched my free lectures for Paper MA? There is no point at all in attempting questions in your Revision Kit unit you have finished studying all of the topics :-)
