- A price index for a basket of goods over four years was calculated to be: 2014 = 92, • 2015 =97, • 2016=100, • 2017=107. Calculate the inflation rate for each year so that you will enter: Blank #1 = Inflation Rate for 2015 Blank #2 = Inflation Rate for 2016 • Blank #3 = Inflation Rate for 2017 What is the base year in this scenario? • Blank #4 = Base year for this basket %3D Round to two decimal places Blank # 1 Blank # 2 Blank # 3 Blank # 4arrow_forwardThe CPI-U (U.S. city average, all items) has the following annual averages: a. For each year from 2014 to 2017 determine the annual inflation rate inpercent to two decimal places. b.
