For each of the following separate situations, determine the associated cost of inflation.
(1) shoe-leather costs; (2) money illusion; (3) menu costs; (4) future price level uncertainty; (5) wealth redistribution; (6) price confusion; or (7) tax distortions.
A. Price confusion
Price confusion results in difficulty in analyzing price changes as a result of demand shifts or inflation. Here we are assuming that the rise in salaries is because of demand.
B. Money illusion
Money illusion means people dont consider inflation when thinking whether they are richer or poorer. Here gradpa is thinking just because the price was less, everything mustve been cheaper.
C. future price level uncertainty
Because Mary is not certain about the future inflation, she doesnt want to risk it even at an interest rate.
D. Shoeleather costs
Shoeleather costs are costs which people incur because they dont want to hold money as inflation is high. Tom doesnt hold money even though he forgets the password, because inflation is high.
E. Wealth redistributon
Frankie is not willing to sell because future inflation might make her poorer and the new owner richer.
F. Menu costs
Firms incur extra cost when changing prices, this is called menu costs.
