The grocery waterfall weights entered upstream shocks by category tiers

Read the explanation

The source agriculture inflation fraction is fertilizer percentage times point four plus diesel percentage times point three, divided by one hundred. Fertilizer twenty and diesel forty give point two; fertilizer fifty with diesel forty gives point three two. Bars share seventeen hundred pixels per inflation fraction. These assigned passthrough coefficients do not establish actual grocery inflation. Processing inflation is labor percentage times point five five plus packaging percentage times point four five, divided by one hundred. Labor ten and packaging twenty give point one four five. Labor forty with packaging twenty gives point three one. Bars use one thousand pixels per fraction. These source weights are assumptions, not measured supplier costs. Each category tier delta is category base price times tier weight times inflation fraction. Illustrative base twenty dollars and weight point five create ten dollars of tier exposure. Inflation fractions point two and point four therefore add two and four dollars. Bars share one hundred eighty pixels per added dollar.
