Suppose that an economy produces two goods: (i) cheese, and (ii) crackers. The data for 2000 - 2002 is: Year Price of Cheese Price of Crackers 2000 6 19 2001 8 16 2002 8 18 Define the CPI bundle as including 4 units of Cheese and 5 units of Crackers. Given this data, calculate the inflation rate for 2002 (i.e. using the change in prices from 2001 to 2002). Note: Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not include any percent symbols (e.g. 5). 28.12% should be inputted as 28.12.-12.88% should be inputted as -12.88.
