1.Using 2016 as the base year, calculate the Laspeyre’s Quantity Index for 2021.A 138.60B 207.47C 72.15D 149.862.In general, consumers are price-takers; thus, they are expected to react to price changes by substituting ice-creamflavours that have become relatively cheaper for those that have become relatively more expensive. This phenomenon isconsistent with the substitution effect. Substitution tends to cause a negative correlation between the price and quantityrelatives.With regard to the observation above, and the indices calculated above, which of the following is false?A The transaction data on the ice-cream sales is not indicative of substitution effect.B The Paasche’s indices are relatively greater than the Laspeyre’s indices.C The price and quantity relatives of the ice-cream data are positively correlated.D The price and quantity relatives of the ice-cream data are negatively correlated.
