A: Benefit is sometimes measured in time e.g. renting a house to stay in for a month or a year; or hiring land to farm for a year or two. The contract will thus be valid for a certain agreed period. It is sometimes measured in specified work e.g. hiring a man to dye a cloth or stitch it; or hiring an animal to carry a specified weight to a specified destination; or to ride it for a specified distance. It is sometimes defined through specification and indication e.g. hiring a man to move food to a specified place.
