Suppose the annual rate of inflation has been 3 percent during each of the last three years and that borrowers and lenders have come to expect this rate of inflation. If the inflation rate unexpectedly rises, then borrowers gain at the expense of lenders.
As inflation increases, two things happen
1. The amount of interest paid to lenders technically becomes of smaller value and lenders are loosing while borrowers are paying lesser
2. As inflation sets in, wages are increased to compensate for inflation and since the borrower already owed money before the inflation occurred, now he or she has more money in his or her paycheck to pay off the debt.

Answer: 10 months
Explanation:
It would take the Hendersons 10months to recover their cost if they decide to do it themselves over the professional service.
Here is how;
Doing it themselves would cost -
$250 - For a lawnmower
$135 - For an edger
$69 - For a hedge trimmer
$25 - For a rake
Summing these up gives $479
It would cost the Hendersons $479 to purchase equipments to carry out their monthly yard maintenance themselves.
On the other hand, if they were to hire a professional service, it would cost
• $75 for the first month and
• $45 for subsequent months
So, $45 * 9months = $405
$405 + $75 (for the initial month) = $480
Comparing the $480 for a professional to the $479 it would cost to purchase equipment and do it themselves, it would take the Hendersons 10months to recover their cost if they decide to do it themselves over the professional service.
Answer:
the number of containers that should be used is 1.67 containers
Explanation:
The computation of the number of containers that should be used is as follows;
= Annual demand × time × (1 + inefficiency factor) ÷ holding pieces
= 71 × 0.83 × (1 + 0.16) ÷ 41
= 1.67 containers
Here The time is converted from minutes to hour i.e
= 50 minutes ÷ 60 minutes
= 0.83
Hence, the number of containers that should be used is 1.67 containers
