Question

Inflation Yesterday we discussed the problem on rising prices or, in the economist’s terms, inflation. We noted that, during periods of inflation, all prices and incomes do not rise the same rate. Some incomes rise more slowly than the cost of living, and a few do not rise at all. Other incomes rise more rapidly than the cost of living. We concluded that persons with fixed incomes as, for example, the elderly who depend upon pensions, and persons with slow rising incomes as for example, an employee with a salary agreed to in a long-term contract, will be most seriously affected by inflation. We also talked about the fact that stockholders and persons with business interests and investments would probably benefit most from inflation, since high prices would increase sales receipt, and profits would likely rise faster than the, cost of living.” Unfortunately, the data are actual. 16. The passage says:

(1 Ponto)

a) that nobody is affected with the inflation index of the month.

c) that prices and incomes rise at the same rate during periods of inflation.

d) that an employee with a salary agreed to in a longterm contract, will be deeply affected by inflation.
