On April 1, the price of gas at Bob's Corner Station was $3.50 per gallon. On May 1, the price was $4.00 per gallon. On June 1, it was back down to $3.50 per gallon. Between April 1 and May 1, Bob's price increased by $0.50 or 14.29% Between May 1 and June 1, Bob's price decreased by $0.50 or 14.29% Suppose that at a gas station across the street, prices are always 20% higher than Bob's. In absolute dollar terms, the difference between Bob's prices and the prices across the street is greater when gas costs $4.00 than when gas costs $3.50. Some economists blame high commodity prices (including the price of gas) on interest rates being too low. Suppose the Fed raises the target for the federal funds rate from 2% to 2.75%. This change of raised its target by approximately percentage points means that the Fed
