  1. Chapter 10 Index analysis

  2. The concept and classification of index • A statisticalindicator providing a representation of the value of the securities which constitute it. Indices often serve as barometers for a given market or industry and benchmarksagainst which financial or economicperformance is measured.

  3. INDIVIDUAL INDEXQUANTITY INDEXVALUE INDEX Some commonly used statistical indexs

  4. Price Relatives • Price relatives are helpful in understanding and interpreting changing economic and business conditions over time.

  5. Price Relatives • A price relative shows how the current price per unit for a given item compares to a base period price per unit for the same item. • A price relative expresses the unit price in each period as a percentage of the unit price in the base period. • A base periodis a given starting point in time.

  6. Example: Besco Products • Price Relatives The prices Besco paid for newspaper and television ads in 1992 and 1997 are shown below. Using 1992 as the base year, compute a 1997 price index for newspaper and television ad prices. 19921997 Newspaper $14,794$29,412 Television 11,46923,904

  7. Example: Besco Products • Price Relatives Newspaper Television Television advertising cost increased at a greater rate.

  8. Aggregate Price Indexes • An aggregate price indexis developed for the specific purpose of measuring the combined change of a group of items. • An unweighted aggregate price index in period t, denoted by It, is given by where Pit = unit price for item i in period t Pi 0 = unit price for item i in the base period

  9. Aggregate Price Indexes • With a weighted aggregate indexeach item in the group is weighted according to its importance, which typically is the quantity of usage. • Letting Qi = quantity for item i, the weighted aggregate price index in period t is given by where the sums are over all items in the group.

  10. Aggregate Price Indexes • When the fixed quantity weights are determined from the base-year usage, the index is called a Laspeyres index. • When the weights are based on period t usage the index is a Paasche index.

  11. Example: City of Newton • Aggregate Price Indexes Data on energy consumption and expenditures by sector for the city of Newton are given below. Construct an aggregate price index for energy expenditures in 2000 using 1985 as the base year. Quantity (BTU) Unit Price ($/BTU) Sector1985200019852000 Residential 9,473 8,804 $2.12 $10.92 Commercial 5,416 6,015 1.97 11.32 Industrial 21,287 17,832 .79 5.13 Transport. 15,293 20,262 2.32 6.16

  12. Example: City of Newton • Unweighted Aggregate Price Index I2000 = 10.92 + 11.32 + 5.13 + 6.16 (100) = 466 2.12 + 1.97 + .79 + 2.32 • Weighted Aggregate Index (Laspeyres Method) I2000 = 10.92(9473) + . . . + 6.16(15293) (100) = 443 2.12(9473) + . . . + 2.32(15293) • Weighted Aggregate Index (Paasche Method) I2000 = 10.92(8804) + . . . + 6.16(20262) (100) = 415 2.12(8804) + . . . + 2.32(20262) The Paasche value being less than the Laspeyres indicates usage has increased faster in the lower-priced sectors.

  13. Some Important Price Indexes • Consumer Price Index (CPI) • Primary measure of the cost of living in US. • Based on 400 items including food, housing, clothing, transportation, and medical items. • Weighted aggregate price index with fixed weights derived from a usage survey. • Published monthly by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. • Its base period is 1982-1984 with an index of 100.

  14. Some Important Price Indexes • Producer Price Index (PPI) • Measures the monthly changes in prices in primary markets in the US. • Used as a leading indicatorof the future trend of consumer prices and the cost of living. • Covers raw, manufactured, and processed goods at each level of processing. • Includes the output of manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, gas and electricity, and public utilities. • Weighted average of price relatives using the Laspeyres method.

  15. Some Important Price Indexes • Dow Jones Averages • Indexes designed to show price trends and movements on the New York Stock Exchange. • The Dow Jones Industrial Average(DJIA)is based on common stock prices of 30 industrial firms. • The DJIA is not expressed as a percentage of base-year prices. • Another average is computed for 20 transportation stocks, and another for 15 utility stocks.

  16. Deflating a Series by Price Indexes • In order to correctly interpret business activity over time, when it is expressed in dollar amounts, we should adjust the data for the price-increase effect. • Removing the price-increase effect from a time series is called deflating the series. • Deflating actual hourly wages results in real wages or the purchasing powerof wages.

  17. Example: McNeer Cleaners • Deflating a Series by Price Indexes McNeer Cleaners, with 46 branch locations, has had the total sales revenues shown on the next slide for the last five years. Deflate the sales revenue figures on the basis of 1982-1984 constant dollars. Is the increase in sales due entirely to the price-increase effect?

  18. Example: McNeer Cleaners Deflating a Series by Price Indexes • Year Total Sales ($1000) CPI • 1996 8,446 156.9 • 1997 9,062 160.5 • 9, 830 163.0 • 10,724 166.6 • 2000 11,690 172.6

  19. Example: McNeer Cleaners • Deflating a Series by Price Indexes Deflated Annual Year Sales ($1000) Change(%) 1996 (8,446/156.9)(100) = 5,383 1997 (9,062/160.5)(100) = 5,646 +4.9 1998 (9,830/163.0)(100) = 6,031 +6.8 1999 (10,724/166.6)(100) = 6,437 +6.7 2000 (11,690/172.6)(100) = 6,773 +5.2 After adjusting revenue for the price-increase effect, revenue is still increasing at an average rate of 5.9% per year.

  20. Price Indexes: Other Considerations • Selection of Items • When the class of items is very large, a representative group (usually not a random sample) must be used. • The group of items in the aggregate index must be periodically reviewed and revised if it is not representative of the class of items in mind. • Selection of a Base Period • As a rule, the base period should not be too far from the current period. • The base period for most indexes is adjusted periodically to a more recent period of time.

  21. Price Indexes: Other Considerations • Quality Changes • A basic assumption of price indexes is that the prices are identified for the same items each period. • Is a product that has undergone a major quality change the same product it was? • A substantial quality improvement also may cause an increase in the price of a product.

  22. Quantity Indexes • An index that measures changes in quantity levels over time is called a quantity index. • Probably the best known quantity index is the Index of Industrial Production. • A weighted aggregate quantity index is computed in much the same way as a weighted aggregate price index. • A weighted aggregate quantity index for period t is given by
