5. FORMULA FOR CALCULATION OF THE INDICES OF PRODUCTION by elementary type of economic activity (subclass) Q t, Q t-1, Q b – amount of produced production for the reporting month (period) in the previous month (period) and a monthly average of base year P b – average unit price in the base year n – the number of representative goods involved in the calculation of the index in the subclass i t/b - indices in the reporting period t (month or period from the beginning of the reporting year), and a monthly average of produced production of the base year i t-1/b - indexes in the previous period t-1 (the previous month, the corresponding month of last year or relevant period from the beginning of last year), the monthly average of produced production of the base year i t/t-1 - indices in the reporting period t compared to the previous period t-1

7. FORMULA FOR CALCULATION OF GROSS VALUE ADDED W= V × D w :100 W – gross value added V – volume of industrial production D w – share of gross value added in a volume of industrial production

FORMULAE OF CALCULATING AGGREGATE PRODUCTION INDICES by classes, groups, partitions, sections NCEA and for the whole industry I t/t-1 = I t/b : I t-1/b х 100 I t/b, I t-1/b - aggregate indices for time periods t and t-1, respectively, compared with average monthly production of the base year I t/t-1 – aggregate index for the period of time t, as a percentage of the time period t-1 i t/b, i t-1/b – indices by subclasses (classes, groups, partitions, sections NCEA), included into classes (groups, sections, sections of the NCEA and the whole industry) for the period of time t and t-1, respectively, compared with average monthly production of the base year W – gross value added of the base year by subclasses (classes, groups, partitions, sections NCEA), included into classes (groups, sections, sections of the NCEA and the whole industry) m – amount of subclasses (classes, groups, divisions, sections NCEA), included respectively in classes (groups, sections, sections of the NCEA and the whole industry)
