1. Table 1 shows the prices and the price indices for the four ingredients . P, Q, R
and S, used in the making biscuits of a particular kind. Diagram 1 is a pie chart
which represents the relative amount of the ingredients P, Q, R and S, used in the
making these biscuits.

Price per kg (RM) Price index in the year 2004

Ingredient based on the year 2001
Year 2001 Year 2004
P 0.80 1.00 x
Q 2.00 y 140
R 0.40 0.60 150
S z 0.40 80
Table 1

Find the values of x, y and z.

(i) Calculate the composite index for the cost of P

Q
making these biscuits in the year 2004 based on the
120
year 2001.
60S
(ii) Hence, calculate the corresponding cost of
100
R
making these biscuits in the year 2001 if the cost in
the year 2004 was RM 2 985. Diagram 1

(c) The cost of making these biscuits is expected to

increase by 50% from the year 2004 to the year
2007. Find the expected composite index for the year
2007 based on the year 2001. [10 marks]

2. A particular kind of cake is made by using four ingredients, P, Q, R and S. Table 2
shows the prices of the ingredients.
Ingredient Price per kilogram(RM)
Year 2004 Year 2005
P 5.00 w
Q 2.50 4.00
R x y
S 4.00 4.40
Table 2
(a) The index number of ingredient P in the year 2005 based on the year 2004 is 120.
Calculate the value of w. [2 marks]
(b) The index number of ingredient R in the year 2005 based on the year 2004 is 125.
The price per kilogram of ingredient R in the year 2005 is RM2.00 more than
its corresponding price in the year 2004. Calculate the value of x and of y. .[3 marks]
(c) The composite index for the cost of making the cake in the year 2005 based
on the year 2004 is 127.5. Calculate
(i) the price of a cake in the year 2004 if its corresponding price in the year
2005 is RM30.60.
(ii) the value of m if the quantities of ingredients P, Q, R and S used are in the ratio of
7 : 3 : m : 2. [5 marks]

3. Table 3 shows the prices, the price indices and weightages for four types of stationery
P, Q, R and S.
Price (RM) per unit Price index in the
Stationery year 2008 based on Weightages
Year 2007 Year 2008 the year 2007
P 2.80 2.10 x 4
Q 4.00 4.80 120 2
R 2.00 y 130 3
S z 5.80 116 m
Table 3
(a) Find the value of
(i) x (ii) y (iii) z [3 marks]
(b) The composite index for the price of the stationery in the year 2008 based
on the year 2007 is 108.4. Calculate the value of m. [3 marks]
(c) The total expenditure for the stationery in the year 2007 is RM525.
Calculate the corresponding total expenditure in the year 2008. [2 marks]
(d) The price index for Q in the year 2009 based on the year 2007 is 132.
Calculate the price index for Q in the year 2009 based on the year 2008. [2 marks]
