Yesterday, Casey received a cable company ad for bundled TV, telephone, and Internet service that cost appreciably more than what she is currently paying. At the same time, she received a notice from her utility company that summer rates would be increasing. Her schoolbooks are costing almost twice what they cost last year, and yesterday, gasoline cost her 30 cents more per gallon than it did last week. As she ponders the situation, she can't help but wonder how prices could be rising when so many people have lost their jobs and are cutting back on expenditures. She is certain that this situation characterizes her economics professor's description of stagflation. a. True
b. False

a. True

Explanation:

It is true that her situation characterizes what her economics professor's mentioned on stagflation.

She experienced high internet cost more than she is paying, she was also notified on an increase in the utility summer rates, increase in the cost of her schoolbooks, and gasoline all point to what stagflation is.

Stagflation is detected when a nation experiences slow economic growth obvious with an increase in the cost of goods, which means a reduction in purchasing power as Casey experienced. When companies want to still be running their business, they will increase the cost of their services as there are fewer goods available and the currency weakened.
