A small business owner has a line of credit from a bank with a nominal interest rate of seven percent
For several years, the price level has been rising at an annual rate of two percent, but the owner has just read in the newspaper that economists expect next year's inflation rate to be four percent or more.

What reason might there be for the owner to keep the credit terms as is? What argument might justify changing the credit agreement?
Suppose duopolists face the market inverse demand curve P = 100 - Q, Q = q1 + q2, and both firms have a constant marginal cost of 10
