发明名称 System and method for generating a chain-weighted equipment price index
摘要 Systems and methods are disclosed that generate a chain-weighted equipment price index. In one embodiment, the equipment price management system may receive equipment sales records and store the sales records in a database. A user of the system may request that an equipment price index be generated for a set of time periods, including a first time period and a second time period. The index may reflect the price performance of one or more types of equipment. Based on the equipment sales records, the equipment price management system may then determine a first equipment quantity for the first time period and a second equipment quantity for the second time period. The equipment management system may determine a first median price of the first equipment quantity for the first time period and a second median price of the second equipment quantity for the second time period. The equipment price management system may then determine the equipment price index based on the first and second equipment quantities and the first and the second median prices. The equipment price index is provided to help the user perform business assessments related to equipment associated with the equipment sales records.
