The ending index value is 104.73

Explanation:

we will simply divide the end of the period value over the beginning of the period and then multiply by 100 to get the ending period index.

722,009 / 689,400 x 100 = 104,73

The following periods will also be converted into a price index considering the base year. We will not use the previous year base price.
