Hi!

<em>Option C is correct.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation of the choices:

A. - This seems a good choice, however it's not the best choice. Let's come back to it.

B. - This is the best choice because they get to experience first-hand how to manage and make their own money decisions. Choice A might seem good at first, but we can see this is better because they get to make their own decisions and experience hands-on how to do it.

C - This is not a good choice, because it's best to expose children early so they can grow up knowing how to do it.

D - This choice doesn't make sense. What is the point of money if you store it away and don't spend it? This will likely not be a good lesson in the future.

Hope this helps! :D

Last year both a borrower and a lender expected an inflation rate of 3 percent when they signed a long-term loan agreement with
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

B. The lender would benefit.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario the one who would benefit from a lower inflation rate would be the lender. That is because by there being a lower inflation rate it means that the money that the borrower needs to pay back the loan does not have the buying power he predicted it would have when he borrowed it. Meaning that he would need to pay more money to the lender than originally anticipated.
