The decision to build the park or not would be based solely
on the cost – benefit relationship of this project. Since there is no other
factor considered in this problem, you only need to see if the benefit of
constructing the park would exceed its cost. In this problem, the cost to
construct the park is $20,000 while the marginal benefit would be $24,000
($8,000 x 3 families that can benefit from this project). Therefore, you can
say that the benefit has exceeded its cost. As a conclusion, the neighborhood
park should be built because it benefits the families living in that area more
than its cost.

C. Variable inflation is associated with high transaction costs
Explanation:
Because of uncertainty about future inflation, it may not uncertain relative to its price change. Therefore, option A is not correct.
In order to maximize financial position, inflation harms borrowers and helps lenders, so option B is also incorrect.
Option C is correct because variable inflation is associated with high transaction costs in order to maximize the financial position. For example, if the inflation rate is 5% during first quarter, the price level is not much to disrupt the financial position. Again, in the next quarter, if the inflation rate changes to 4%, the position will be effective more. However, if it increases, it will not affect too much.
Answer: Gwen should report a $3,000 long-term capital gain in her income tax return.
In this question the price paid by Gwen’s mother for the shares is irrelevant because of her death.

Gwen’s gain from selling the shares is:
Gwen inherited the shares on (21st October 2015) and held the shares until (3rd july 2017), so she held the shares for more than one year after inheriting it. So, she will report a long-term capital gain on her income tax return.
