The Rumbek Hauling Company contracted with construction firms to haul debris away from construction sites. The company is in the process of buying a new truck in 2020. The last truck they purchased was in 2017, and they paid $160,000 for the new Mercedes truck. He asked the firm's accountant to see if there were statistics available that would help him decide on how much he should expect to pay for one this year. Idris, the accountant, knew of the Machinery and Equipment Subindex of the Producer Price Industrial Commodities from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. He got the following price index information from that organization:

Year	Machinery and Equipment Index
2014	96.3
2015	100.0
2016	109.2
2017	106.0
2018	113.6
2019	111.3
