WEIGHTED AVERAGE OR ABSOLUTE BASIS


Weighted Average or Absolute basis–

 It is summation of the products of qualitative and quantitative factors. For example, to calculate absolute Ton-Km for a goods transport is calculated as follows.:

∑(Weight Carried × Distance)1 + (Weight Carried × Distance)2 +….+(Weight
Carried × Distance)n

Similarly, in case of Cinema theatres, price for various classes of seats are fixed differently.

 For example–
First class seat may be provided with higher quality service and hence charged at a higher rate, whereas Second Class seat may be priced less. In this case, appropriate weight to be given effect for First Class seat and Second Class seat – to ensure proper cost per composite unit.
