Year Average closing Price Annual % change

2005 1.0811

2021 2.6933 149.13 (2.6933-1.0811/1.0811x100)

2022 2.3863 120.73 (2.3863-1.0811)/1.0811x100)

When using 2005 as the base year, the coffee prices have to be subtracted from the 2005 coffee price then divided by the base year coffee price. In this scenario, the 2021 annual change is obtained by; (2.3863-1.0811)/1.0811x100=120.73.
