The correct answers are B) as inflation rises, the buying power of the fixed pension plan will not be able to keep up if the same fixed income is earned in 1990 as it was in 1980. And C) inflation will have dramatically increased living expenses and it will be difficult to maintain the same purchasing power.
An increase in inflation above expectations will affect the worker's purchasing power in retirement in the following ways: as inflation rises, the buying power of the fixed pension plan will not be able to keep up if the same fixed income is earned in 1990 as it was in 1980. Also, inflation will have dramatically increased living expenses and it will be difficult to maintain the same purchasing power.
That is the problem with pensions. When people retire from work, they will receive a fixed amount of money on a monthly basis. But inflation is always a factor that makes prices to be higher. So if the income level of the individual stays the same, inflation will limit is purchase capacity because the person will still receive the same pension although the prices of products and goods could dramatically change in the case of an increase in inflation above expectations.

Answer:
Yield to maturity is 7.93%
Yield to call is 7.83%
Explanation:
I calculated both the yield to maturity and yield to call using the rate formula in excel which is =rate(nper,pmt,pv,-fv)
nper is the year to maturity and year to call of 18 years and 8 years respectively.
pmt is the periodic coupon payment is 9%*1000=$90 in each case.
pv is the present value in each case of $1100.35
The future value which is the redemption value is $1000 for yield to maturity and $1060 for yield to call
