The document discusses the Whole Sale Price Index (WPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI). The WPI measures price changes in the primary and wholesale markets, while the CPI measures the overall cost of goods and services bought by a typical consumer. The CPI is used to monitor changes in the cost of living over time. It measures price changes of a fixed basket of goods and services of constant quality and quantity to determine inflation rates.
The document discusses various types of index numbers used to measure inflation and changes in prices over time. It describes price indexes as single numbers that indicate price changes across goods compared to a base year. Retail price indexes (RPI) and consumer price indexes (CPI) measure average price changes of goods in a typical consumer basket. Chain indexes use successive years as bases to calculate price relatives and chain them together to measure inflation without a fixed base year.
The document discusses consumer price index numbers, which are index numbers that indicate changes in consumer prices for a basket of goods and services. Consumer price indices are needed because general price indices do not accurately show how price changes impact different classes of consumers who have varying consumption patterns. The indices are calculated using methods like the aggregative expenditure method or family budget method and are used by governments and others to formulate economic policies, grant employee allowances, and evaluate purchasing power.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

4. DELPHI
A structured method of obtaining responses from experts.
• Utilizes the vast knowledge base of experts
• Eliminates subjective bias and ‘influencing’ by members through anonymity
• Iterative in character with statistical summary at end of each round (Generally 3
rounds)
• Consensus (or Divergent Viewpoints) usually emerge at the end of the exercise.

MOVING AVERAGES
K PERIOD MA = AVERAGE OF K MOST RECENT OBSERVATIONS
For instance :
3 PERIOD MA FOR MAY
= Demands of Mar, Apr, May / 3
= (199 + 208 + 121) / 3 = 206.33

5. Simple average method
A simple average of demands occurring in all previous time periods is taken as the demand forecast for the next
time period in this method.
Simple Average :
A XYZ television supplier found a demand of 200 sets in July, 225 sets in August & 245 sets in September. Find the
demand forecast for the month of october using simple average method.
The average demand for the month of October is
Simple moving average method:
In this method, the average of the demands from several of the most recent periods is taken as the demand
forecast for the next time period. The number of past periods to be used in calculations is selected in the
beginning and is kept constant (such as 3-period moving average)
A XYZ refrigerator supplier has experienced the following demand for refrigerator during past five months.
Month Demand
February 20
March 30
April 40
May 60
June 45
Find out the demand forecast for the month of July using five-period moving average & three-period moving average
using simple moving average method.
6. Weighted moving average method:
In this method, unequal weights are assigned to the past demand data while calculating simple moving average
as the demand forecast for next time period. Usually most recent data is assigned the highest weight factor.
The manager of a restaurant wants to make decision on inventory and overall cost. He wants to forecast demand for
some of the items based on weighted moving average method. For the past three months he exprienced a demand
for pizzas as follows:
Month Demand
October 400
November 480
December 550
Find the demand for the month of January by assuming suitable weights to demand data.
Exponential smoothing method:
In this method, weights are assigned in exponential order. The weights decrease exponentially from most recent
demand data to older demand data
One of the two wheeler manufacturing company exprienced irregular but usually increasing demand for three
products. The demand was found to be 420 bikes for June and 440 bikes for July. They use a forecasting
7. method which takes average of past year to forecast future demand. Using the simple average method demand
forecast for June is found as 320 bikes (Use a smoothing coefficient 0.7 to weight the recent demand most
heavily) and find the demand forecast for August.
Regression analysis method:
In this method, past demand data is used to establish a functional relationship between two variables. One
variable is known or assumed to be known; and used to forecast the value of other unknown variable (i.e.
demand)
Farewell Corporation manufactures Integrated Circuit boards(I.C board) for electronics devices. The planning
department knows that the sales of their client goods depends on how much they spend on advertising, on account of
which they receive in advance of expenditure. The planning department wish to find out the relationship between their
clients advertising and sales, so as to find demand for I.C board.
The money spend by the client on advertising and sales (in dollar) is given for different periods in following table :
