Answer:
The borrower is best off in situation <u>"a"</u> and the lender is best off in situation ▼ "C" .
Explanation:
Considering all the situations given in the options, the <u>borrower</u> is best in situation <u>a</u> and <u>lender</u> is best off in situation in <u>c</u>.
<u>Part a </u>
Real Interest rate = Nominal Interest rate - Inflation rate = 14 - 17 = -3 per cent. Thus, the purchasing power of money has fallen and the person has to pay back money with little purchasing power as compared to the value of the purchasing power at the time he borrowed money. Thus, borrowers are best off.Thus, <u>borrower</u> is best off when the inflation rate is very high.
<u>Part c</u>
Inflation rate is negative, thus the purchasing power of money will increase and lenders will get back money with higher purchasing power as compared to the value of the purchasing power of money at the time he lend the money. Thus, <u>lender </u>is best off when inflation rate is lowest.
Answer:

Hence, where the wages are not enough to cause for the employees, there tends to be a situation where wages cannot adjust downward quickly and easily. And therefore, people would not want to work where there is low pay, and eventually, unemployment increases.
