    Hello sir
    I’m confused here.
    Which of the following organization is most likely to benefit from a period of high price inflation?
    A- an organization which has a large number of payable.
    B- a supplier of goods in a market where consumer are highly price sensitive and substitute imported good are available.

    I choose B but the answer is A. Sir shouldn’t A pay more money to suppliers as the prince increase and B sell more expensive?

    A is correct because they will still be paying the suppliers the old (lower) price but be able to sell at a higher price.

    B is not correct because as they put their prices up, customers are likely to stop buying (and by cheaper imports instead).
