a)
Inflation refers to the sustained rise in price level which is maintained for longer period of time. Very short term fluctuation in price level is not regarded as inflation.
Inflation reduces purchasing power of people. Hence, when price ups, the value of money goes down.
NPV discounts the future income and inflation reduces purchasing power of people. Hence, rise in inflation would increase discount rate since now more money shall be required to maintain same level of purchasing power.
