| Panel A. | Year 1 weighted quantity
change measure for fruit |
|
= [(20 × 10¢) + (20 ×
20¢)] ÷ [(30 × 10¢) + (10 × 20¢)] |
|
= Hypothetical expenditure on fruit
in year 2 using year 1 prices, divided by actual expenditure on fruit in year 1 |
|
= $6.00/$5.00 = 1.20 |
| Panel B. |
Year 2 weighted quantity change
measure for fruit |
|
= [(20 × 20¢) + (20 ×
25¢)] ÷ [(30 × 20¢) + (10 × 25¢)] |
|
= Actual expenditure on fruit in
year 2, divided by hypothetical expenditure on fruit in year 1 using year 2
prices |
|
= $9.00/$8.50 = 1.06 |
