Description: 1. Use of a shifting reference value. Percentage is calculated with regards to a reference value. Undisclosed shift in reference values for two different percentages may lead to distorted perception of what the percentages tell. A situation is show below.  

         Example: A certain savvy Businessman offers the following proposal to his employees:

 

“  This year, owing to economic downturn, you wages are to be lowered by 10%, but worry not, next year you will be duly compensated with an increase by 11%. ”

          Should this be a sensible proposition for the employees?

          We analyze this by taking the case of an arbitrary sample worker. Suppose the Current Wage of an employee is $50,000. The Revised Wage after reduction by 10% is:

          Revised Wage = Current Wage – ( Current Wage x percentage change )

                                  = $50000 – ( $50000 x 10/100 )

                                  = $45000

   The Next Year’s wage increase of 11% is calculated with Revised Wage as reference:

        Next Year’s Wage = Revised Wage + (Revised Wage x percentage change )

                                    =  $45000 + ( $45000 x 11/100 )

                                    =  $49950      ,Which is less than current wage of $50000

              Thus we seen an increase of 11% does not compensate for a decrease of 10% in wage as they are calculated with different reference values and hence the proposal should not be acceptable for the employees.
