In 1971, under president richard nixon, the federal government passed legislation that "froze" wages and the prices of consumer

items. however, that did little to stop the increase in inflation or unemployment. what can you infer was behind nixon's decision to "freeze" wages and prices? workers would be willing to be paid less if it would help the economy. consumers would buy more if inflation continued to rise. inflation affects wages and prices, so freezing those would halt inflation. rising inflation would lead to improvements in unemployment.

The idea behind Nixon's decision to "freeze" wages and prices was inflation affects wages and prices, so freezing those would halt inflation.

When the total demand (AD) exceeds the total supply (AS) of a given item or service in the market, this is referred to as inflation.

As a result, the cost of those goods and services rises. This occurs as a result of people having money, either through high government spending or from high incomes or low loan rates.

Nixon thus decides to maintain a specific level of prices and salaries in order to freeze employment. As a result, the population's purchasing power will be constrained, and prices will eventually balance out.

Demonstrate how workplace discrimination undermines organizational effectiveness.
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Workplace discrimination prevents the firm from using the full potential of those employees that are being discriminated against.

Explanation:

For example, if the firm discriminates against a specific group of people when hiring (for example, it can discriminate against older people), the firm could lose valuable potential employees that could have provided great skill and experience for the firm.

If the firm practices discrimination against employees, the operation in the company will not be as streamlined as it could be against discrimination because those who are being treated poorly will be less motivated and have lesser output.

Institute for Marine Cargo Clauses Coverage C:
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: A

Explanation:

Coverage C is the one of the Institute Marine Cargo Clauses and it is also referred to as a "named perils policy". It lists risks that will be covered and the list is limited to stranding, fire, collision, jettison and sinking. It does not include damages from rough weather, water damages, washing overboard and losses while loading and unloading.

Coverage C is insufficient for containerized goods, except goods that will not be affected by an international journey and, there won't be a major loss if lost overboard. Coverage C fits bulk cargo, as a loss is unlikely unless the ship has a major damage.

Nikolay [14]

I believe the answer is: He wanted to make sure he could always get fuel for his steel plant.

At that time, the Frick Coke company was the largest coal producer in the country and they control about 80% of the coal market share. At that time, coal is the most important fuel resources for steel industries, they are used to melt and shapes the steel products.

Agata [3.3K]

Answer and explanation:

Proposed by Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) classical conditioning is a form of learning in which a conditioned stimulus is associated with an unconditioned stimulus to generate a response. The conditioned stimulus does not generate any response at first but after conditioning it the desired conditioned response is generated.

Thus, by using an <em>Albert Einstein</em> (1879-1955) avatar, the tutoring web attempts to make give visitors the idea that the mentoring they will receive is given by professionals with wide knowledge in their fields, something that Albert Einstein portrayed himself. That image is likely to help visitors to feel more confident about the type of mentoring they can expect from the web page.
