Exercise Chapter 11

1. The document contains information about price indices and percentages of usage of items used in toy production. It provides data to calculate price indices, composite indices, and costs for different years. 2. Data is given about stationery prices, price indices, and weightages to calculate indices, expenditures, and price changes between years. 3. A bar chart shows weekly costs of items while a table provides price and price index data to calculate composite indices, total costs, and index changes between years. 4. An ingredient table and pie chart are used to find price indices, calculate a composite index, and determine a cost based on the index change between years for biscuit production.
