The top row represents the preliminary and revised implicit price deflator for personal consumption expenditures (IPD) published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). The second row represents the cumulative percentage change in the preliminary or revised index from July of 2008. The third row represents the projections of the annual implicit price deflator since July of 2008 when using the methodology of dividing the cumulative percentage change since July by the number of months since July and then multiplying the dividend by 12 to obtain an annual estimate. The fourth row represents the actual percentage change of the implicit price deflator over the last 12 months.
