Answer 1

Answer with its Explanation:

Free Money means the money that has to be paid back to the money lender within a reasonable time. The money lender usually is a trader who sells his product at credit allowing his customer a reasonable period to payback. Furthermore, the free money is termed free because they are interest free lendings.

In real life, free money is can be availed by purchasing products from the suppliers if you are acting as a middle man in the distribution channel or you are a small customer and your borrowings doesn't impact the supplier. Almost all of the businesses lend free money in the form of products because allowing credit increases the sales of the organizations.
