Answer:

c. If the CPI is 156.25 in 2007, then 2005 is the base year.

Explanation:

The formula to compute the consumer price index is shown below:

= (Cost of goods basket in 2007 ÷ Cost of goods basket in 2005) × base year

= ($168.75 ÷ $108) × 100

= 156.25

Since the CPI in 2007 is 156.25 so the base year is 2005.

We simply divide the 2007 basket cost by the 2005 basket cost so that the CPI can come.

What do we stand to gain from applying planning principles to supposedly routine activitiesif we believe that planning is so imp
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Different personal and cultural traits can explain why even though we know that planning our activities help a lot, we rarely do it.

Japanese society is extremely structured and they plan everything. There incredible economic success is the result of that. Once I was travelling on the same tour bus as a group of Japanese tourists, and their tour guide requested them to give him their schedules since being on vacations meant not following a plan. The tourists got all anxious and nervous because they were going to do something different, which was scary for them.

That day I started to question myself as to why I rarely plan things, and on the next days I really tried to do it, but I failed. One of the reasons I failed was that I was the only one planning what to do, no one else at work was. I felt like Cameron Diaz when she was making plans about where she should be planning on how to have fun. It was really boring, that is the reason why Japanese don't have children or even girlfriends, its easier to plan what to do with a doll.

There is something nice and good about being spontaneous, although sometimes I still feel that I need to plan a little more.

Answer:

Paradox of Power

Explanation:

A paradox is a self-contradicting statement or act that seems contrary to what it actually is.

Democracy represents the freedom or liberty to choose, so while the democracy program may seem by intuition, one which gives the workers freedom to choose whether to attend it or not, it is actually coercing the members to attend instead which represents a paradox of power since the paradox in this case is coercion or power.
