The increase in prices of goods has always been a topic of discussion in todays society because the price increases causes an increment in the cost of living of a family. A hike
ALIBABA 5 S 11 ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROJECT 2012 4 / 39

in petrol price, causing food company to charge extra transportation fee, is a major factor associated with the exorbitant price of food today. The government has implemented various measures to control price increases, such as providing subsidies and list a few essential items as controlled goods in order to reduce the burden on the people. Nevertheless, consumers are also responsible for planning their family expenditure. A study could be done to have a better understanding on how a family spend their money. This study is suitable as the project work of Additional Mathematics for SPM candidates 2012.

A price index is a normalized average of prices for a given class of goods or services in given region, during a given interval of time. It is a statistic designed to help to compare how these prices, taken as a whole, differ between time periods or geographical locations. Price indices have several potential uses. For particularly broad indices, the index can be said to measure the economys price level or a cost of living. More narrow price indices can help producers with business plans and pricing. Sometimes, they can be useful in helping to guide investment.

Some notable price indices include consumer price index, producer price index and GDP deflator. No clear consensus has emerged on who created the first price index. The earliest reported research in this area came from Welsh poet Henry Rice Vaughan who examined price level change in his 1675 book A Discourse of Coin and Coinage. Vaughan wanted to separate the inflationary impact of the influx of precious metals brought by Spain from the New World from the effect due to currency debasement. Vaughan compared labor statutes from his own time to similar statutes dating back to Edward III. These statutes set wages for certain tasks and provided a good record of the change in wage levels. Vaughan reasoned that the market for basic labor did not fluctuate much with time and that a basic laborers salary would probably buy the same amount of goods in different time periods, so that a laborer's salary acted as a basket of goods. Vaughan's analysis indicated that price levels in England had rose six to eightfold over the preceding century. While Vaughan can be considered a forerunner of price index research, his analysis did not actually involve calculating an index. In 1707 Englishman William Fleetwood created perhaps the first true price index. An Oxford student asked Fleetwood to help show how prices had changed. The student stood to lose his fellowship since a fifteenth century stipulation barred students with annual incomes over five pounds from receiving a fellowship. Fleetwood, who already had an interest in price change, had collected a large amount of price data going back hundreds of years. Fleetwood proposed an index consisting of averaged price relatives and used his methods to show that the value of five pounds had changed greatly over the course of 260 years. He argued on
ALIBABA 5 S 11 ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROJECT 2012 7 / 39

behalf of the Oxford students and published his findings anonymously in a volume entitled Chronicon Preciosum. Given a set of goods and services, the total market value of transactions in in some period would be

where represents the prevailing price of in period represents the quantity of sold in period If, across two periods and , the same quantities of each good or service were sold, but under different prices, then and

would be a reasonable measure of the price of the set in one period relative to that in the other, and would provide an index measuring relative prices overall, weighted by quantities sold. Of course, for any practical purpose, quantities purchased are rarely if ever identical across any two periods. As such, this is not a very practical index formula. One might be tempted to modify the formula slightly to

This new index, however, doesn't do anything to distinguish growth or reduction in quantities sold from price changes. To
ALIBABA 5 S 11 ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROJECT 2012 8 / 39

see that this is so, consider what happens if all the prices double between and while quantities stay the same: will double. Now consider what happens if all the quantities double between and while all the prices stay the same: will double. In either case the change in is identical. As such, is as much a quantity index as it is a price index. Various indices have been constructed in an attempt to compensate for this difficulty. Paasche and Laspeyres price indices The two most basic formulae used to calculate price indices are the Paasche index and the Laspeyres index The Paasche index is computed as

while the Laspeyres index is computed as

where is the relative index of the price levels in two periods, is the base period, and the period for which the index is computed. Note that the only difference in the formulas is that the former uses period n quantities, whereas the latter uses base period quantities. When applied to bundles of individual consumers, a Laspeyres index of 1 would state that an agent in the current period can afford to buy the same bundle as he consumed in the previous period, given that income has not changed; a Paasche index of 1 would state that an agent could have
ALIBABA 5 S 11 ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROJECT 2012 9 / 39

consumed the same bundle in the base period as he is consuming in the current period, given that income has not changed. Hence, one may think of the Laspeyres index as one where the numeraire is the bundle of goods using current year prices but base year quantities. Similarly, the Paasche index can be thought of as a price index taking the bundle of goods using current prices and current quantities as the numeraire. The Laspeyres index tends to overstate inflation, while the Paasche index tends to understate it, because the indices do not account for the fact that consumers typically react to price changes by changing the quantities that they buy. For example, if prices go up for good then, ceteris paribus, quantities of that good should go down. Fisher index and MarshallEdgeworth index A third index, the MarshallEdgeworth index, tries to overcome these problems of under- and overstatement by using the arithmetic means of the quantities:

A fourth, the Fisher index, is calculated as the geometric mean of and :

Fisher's index is also known as the ideal price index. However, there is no guarantee with either the Marshall Edgeworth index or the Fisher index that the overstatement and understatement will exactly cancel the other.

While these indices were introduced to provide overall measurement of relative prices, there is ultimately no way of measuring the imperfections of any of these indices against reality. Practical measurement considerations Normalizing index numbers Price indices are represented as index numbers, number values that indicate relative change but not absolute values. Price indices generally select a base year and make that index value equal to 100. You then express every other year as a percentage of that base year. In our example above, let's take 2000 as our base year. The value of our index will be 100. The price

2000: original index value was $2.50; $2.50/$2.50 = 100%, so our new index value is 100 2001: original index value was $2.60; $2.60/$2.50 = 104%, so our new index value is 104 2002: original index value was $2.70; $2.70/$2.50 = 108%, so our new index value is 108 2003: original index value was $2.80; $2.80/$2.50 = 112%, so our new index value is 112

When an index has been normalized in this manner, the meaning of the number 108, for instance, is that the total cost for the basket of goods is 4% more in 2001, 8% more in 2002 and 12% more in 2003 than in the base year. Relative ease of calculating the Laspeyres index As can be seen from the definitions above, if one already has price and quantity data for the base period, then calculating the Laspeyres index for a new period requires only new price
ALIBABA 5 S 11 ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROJECT 2012 11 / 39

data. In contrast, calculating many other indices for a new period requires both new price data and new quantity data for each new period. Collecting only new price data is often easier than collecting both new price data and new quantity data, so calculating the Laspeyres index for a new period tends to require less time and effort than calculating these other indices for a new period. Calculating indices from expenditure data Sometimes, especially for aggregate data, expenditure data is more readily available than quantity data. For these cases, we can formulate the indices in terms of relative prices and base year expenditures, rather than quantities. Here is a reformulation for the Laspeyres index: Let be the total expenditure on good c in the base period,

then we have and therefore also . We can substitute these values into our Laspeyres formula as follows:

A similar transformation can be made for any index. Chained vs non-chained calculations So far, in our discussion, we have always had our price indices relative to some fixed base period. An alternative is to take the base period for each time period to be the immediately preceding time period. This can be done with any of the above indices. Here's an example with the Laspeyres index, where is the period for which we wish to
ALIBABA 5 S 11 ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROJECT 2012 12 / 39

calculate the index and is a reference period that anchors the value of the series:

Each term

answers the question "by what factor have prices increased between period and period ". When you multiply these all together, you get the answer to the question "by what factor have prices increased since period ". Nonetheless, note that, when chain indices are in use, the numbers cannot be said to be "in period " prices. Index number theory Price index formulas can be evaluated based on their relation to economic concepts or on their mathematical properties. Several different tests of such properties have been proposed in index number theory literature. W.E. Diewert summarized past research in a list of nine such tests for a price index , where and are vectors giving prices for a base period and a reference period while and give quantities for these periods. 1. Identity test: The identity test basically means that if prices remain the same and quantities remain in the same proportion to each other then the index value will be one. 2. Proportionality test:
ALIBABA 5 S 11 ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROJECT 2012 13 / 39

If each price in the original period increases by a factor then the index should increase by the factor . 3. Invariance to changes in scale test: The price index should not change if the prices in both periods are increased by a factor and the quantities in both periods are increased by another factor. In other words, the magnitude of the values of quantities and prices should not affect the price index. 4. Commensurability test: The index should not be affected by the choice of units used to measure prices and quantities.
5.

Symmetric treatment of time:

Reversing the order of the time periods should produce a reciprocal index value. If the index is calculated from the most recent time period to the earlier time period, it should be the reciprocal of the index found going from the earlier period to the more recent. 6. Symmetric treatment of commodities: All commodities should have a symmetric effect on the index. Different permutations of the same set of vectors should not change the index. 7. Monotonicity test:

ALIBABA

5 S 11

ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROJECT 2012

14 / 39

A price index for lower later prices should be lower than a price index with higher later period prices. 8. Mean value test: The overall price relative implied by the price index should be between the smallest and largest price relatives for all commodities. 9. Circularity test:

Given three ordered periods , , , the price index for periods and times the price index for periods and should be equivalent to the price index for periods and .

Quality change Price indices often capture changes in price and quantities for goods and services, but they often fail to account for variation in the quality of goods and services. Statistical agencies generally use matched-model price indices, where one model of a particular good is priced at the same store at regular time intervals. The matched-model method becomes problematic when statistical agencies try to use this method on goods and services with rapid turnover in quality features. For instance, computers rapidly improve and a specific model may quickly become obsolete. Statisticians constructing matched-model price indices must decide how to compare the price of the obsolete item originally used in the index with the new and improved item that replaces it. Statistical agencies use several different methods to make such price comparisons.
ALIBABA 5 S 11 ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROJECT 2012 15 / 39

The problem discussed above can be represented as attempting to bridge the gap between the price for the old item at time t, , with the price of the new item at the later time period, .

The overlap method uses prices collected for both items in both time periods, t and t+1. The price relative / is used. The direct comparison method assumes that the difference in the price of the two items is not due to quality change, so the entire price difference is used in the index. / is used as the price relative. The link-to-show-no-change assumes the opposite of the direct comparison method; it assumes that the entire difference between the two items is due to the change in quality. The price relative based on link-to-show-nochange is 1. The deletion method simply leaves the price relative for the changing item out of the price index. This is equivalent to using the average of other price relatives in the index as the price relative for the changing item. Similarly, class mean imputation uses the average price relative for items with similar characteristics to M and N.

Three important items in a family expenditure are food, utilities and finally education. The cost of living for a family in the year 2011 is RM 3,400 when compared to year 2009 RM 2,700 has increased. There will be a major impact on a family if the cost of living increases by 20% in 2013 without increase in income. The family may have to borrow money to spend for food, utilities and education. The family may not able to safe money for future use. They have to depend on government for medicine and other facilities available. Daily life will be a struggle and lost of happiness at home. If my suggestions are able to reduce the cost of living, it will decrease the amount that been calculated in the composite index. Under my estimation on the percentage of reduction in the cost of living in year 2013 if my suggestion is accepted are between 5-10% reduction.
