Inflation and Stagflation

Question 9 • * HSA 26-27 Economics

What is one consequence of stagflation?

Answer
A
The economy drastically slows down as money loses its buying power.
B
Producers cannot keep up with consumer interest and raise their prices.
C
There are not enough workers to meet the rising level of production.
D
Demand is too high and people spend more money than they should.

Explanation

Stagflation combines stagnant or very slow economic growth with inflation, which makes money buy less. So a consequence is that the economy slows while people’s purchasing power falls. Choice A describes this; the other choices focus on excess demand or production pressures rather than stagflation.
