The Paasche index for year 5 if products quantities are  4,000, 3,000, 8,000, and 3,000 for products A, B, C, and D, respectively is 167.

Paasche price index or Paasche index is one of consumer price index used to measure the change in the price and quantity of a basket of products relative to a base year price and quantity. Paasche index calculates inflation and how it impacts the consumer purchasing patterns

Paasche price index could be calculated using this formula:

Paasche price index =  ∑(Pi,t) x (Qi,t)   x 100

                                      ∑(Pi,0) x (Qi,0)

where:

Pi,0 = price of individual item at base year

Pi,t = price of individual item at observation period

Qi,t = quantity of individual item at observation period

From the case, we know that:

Products      Q5        S1         S5         Q5xS1       Q5xS5

     A          4,000    10.50    15.90    42,000     63,600

     B          3,000    16.25    33.00    48,750     99,000

     C          8,000    12.25     18.40    98,000    147,200

     D          3,000    20.00   35.50    60,000    106,500

  Total                                               248,750    416,300

Using the Paasche price index formula, we get:

Paasche price index =  416,300 x 100

                                       248,750

Paasche price index = 167.36

Paasche price index ≈ 167
