Answer:

a. borrowers gain at the expense of lenders

Explanation:

Inflation refers to the sustained increase of the price of a commodity over a period of time.

The losers during inflation are the creditors because the money loaned out had more value or purchasing power compared to what is repaid. This is due to the fact the borrower will still owe the lender the same amount .

At a price of $100, Beachside Canoe Rentals rented 11 canoes. When it increased its rental price to $125, 9 canoes were rented.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

C) 0.9.

Explanation:

The calculation  of the price elasticity of demand is shown below:

Price elasticity of demand is

= (Change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (Change in price ÷ average of price)

where,

q1 = 11

q2 = 9

p1 = $100

p2 = $125

So,

= {(9 - 11) ÷ (9 + 11) ÷ 2}  ÷  {($125 - $100) ÷ ($125 + $100) ÷ 2 }

= {-2 ÷ 10} ÷ {25 ÷ 112.5 }

= -0.9

= 0.9
