The above situation is an example of shoe leather cost of inflation.
A shoe-leather cost is what people pay when they frequently visit the bank to withdraw cash to use to pay for products in the wake of intense inflationary pressure. The term "shoe-leather cost" symbolizes all costs, including time spent, bank fees, brokerage fees and transportation costs.
High inflation discourages people from keeping large sums of cash on hand because the value of money rapidly depreciates during this time. More money is kept in banks by them. Additionally, repeated price increases force people to constantly withdraw money for transactional needs. Due to this, they frequently visit their bank to withdraw cash in order to pay for goods and services. These frequent journeys degrade their shoe leather, resulting in a 'shoe-leather cost.'

C) Paying a bribe to a company executive in order to be awarded a contract.
Explanation:
Not only politicians or public officials are corrupt, in order for corruption to exist, there must be some private party willing to give a public servant something in exchange for an illegal favor.

The most important result was not only the billions of dollars recovered from public servants and politicians, but the fact that the owners and upper management of virtually all the largest Brazilian corporations were sent to jail as accomplices. It is not common that the richest people in a country are sent to jail.
