3. In a small community, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Therefore, the only two goods that this community produces are coffee and scones in the following amounts: Year 2020 2021 Quantity 60 cups 90 cups Coffee Price $1.25 $1.45 Quantity 45 units 65 units Scones Price $2.10 $3.95 a) Calculate the inflation rate for 2021 using the GDP deflator method (assume that 2020 is the base year for real GDP calculations). Show your work. b) Calculate the inflation rate for 2021 using the CPI method (assume that 2020 is the base year for CPI calculations). Additionally, assume that the consumption basket for both years contains only 10 cups of coffee and 40 scones.
