chain base method
CHAIN BASE METHOD CHAIN BASE METHOD In chain base method price changes are measured, of different years (I,e Current year) by comparing the prices with previous years of the selected data. For Example: Years: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 Prices: 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18 Here the arrows shows price comparison of every new year(current year) with its previous year(2003 with 2002, 2004 with 2003, etc.) Formula: I.N=Pn/Pr.(100) (Link Relatives). Here: "Pn" is price of current year. "Pr" is price of previous year. "100" is for obtaining the answer in "Percentage Fixed Base method 1. It is easy to understand by a Common man as each year's price is Percentage of a fixed base year's price. 2. It is simple to calculate as the denominator denominator remains fixed for all the cases. 3. Here, the base period remains fixed. 4. It is very rigid, and so, it does not easily inclusion Permit accommodation of new items deletion of the outd...
