no. the Sherman anti trust act was not enforced against big coorperations. instead in 1890 to 1900 the act was used againt the formation of unions

China and the European Union produce the most, but the United States offers a good share-about 60 to 70 million metric tons per year. Kansas and North Dakota produce more than any other state. Amber Waves of Grain

The cotton gin was invented by Eli Whitney and made cotton a much more profitable crop. Ten times the amount of cotton could be picked. Because of how profitable the cotton gin made cotton as a cash crop the demand for slaves continued. Eli Whitney said himself that he regretted the invention because of the increased demand for slave labor. The invention of the cotton gin was a major setback for the abolitionist movement. If this had not been invented slavery would have most likely been ended fifty years earlier.

An increase in the price of a substitute good will increase demand for the original good, thus shifting the demand curve to the right.

During the Industrial Revolution our economy evolved around the manufactur of cars, steel, and what ever big order tickets they received from other countries. After World War 2 the economy filled with service jobs which are everywhere you go from the local bus transit driver, the waiter at the diner, the person who drycleans your outfits, the guy who installed your satellite or cable. While manufacturing is still a vital industry it is being threatened because manufacturing jobs are being outsourced to other countries. We have a treaty with Korea to import from their country but they still insist on limiting the amount of cars we can export over there. The formation of the UNION was very important in preserving industry workers jobs and rights. Unfortunately, 2007 marked a noticable decline in even the service industry and this is like the backbone of our economy. So the easy answer is yes.

You can choose to shift the demand curve to the right i.e. expansion of demand.

It seems like it could be both.

Variable because you have to do more maintenance as you increase production.

Partially fixed because maintenance is necessary even if you don't product anything.

If I were going to guess on an exam/homework, I'd go with variable though.

• nonelectric machinery

• fabricated metal products

• electric machinery and equipment

• processed and food products

• rubber and plastic products

• petroleum and coal products

• aircraft

• electronic equipment

• mobile homes

• glass and clay products

A direct cost is a cost than can be attributed directly to a product; examples include materials used in production, electricity used by a machine making the product, worker hours spend operating the machine to make the product.

An indirect cost is a cost than occurs but cannot be attributed directly to a product; examples include electricity used by lighting, the account staff wages, business rates.

indirect costs, like direct costs can be both fixed and variable: business rates are fixed (for a year) but the cost of electricity used to light the factory floor is going to be variable depending upon how much the machines are used and staff being present - there can also be more than one product being made on the factory floor on different machines, but only one set of lights over the whole floor - one light could easily cover 2, 3 or more machines.

If demand rises, the demand curve will shift to the right. A fall in supply will mean that the curve moves leftwards. The result is higher prices at a lower quantity. Excess demand may occur

if the price of the realted good increase the producers will find it more profitable to produce them and they will shift their production to that commodity . thus as a result the supply of the good in the question will decrease .

Because the tertiary sector is needing to become bigger and therefor the secondary sector getting smaller. This ghoweevr does not mean that less is being produced as we have more machinary and equipment to make things in quicker time with less people needed!

It wasn't. It was important to the plantation owners. The slaves, if their "master" happened to own a cotton plantation and they were told to pick cotton, they picked it or got a beating.

The slaves were brought here unwillingly, bought and sold like cattle. They did what they were told to do to avoid punishment or death.

fixed and variable

It helped farmers make more money, faster cotton gin helped by cleaning(with the help of water) the cotton much faster then doing it by hand. So the faster you clean the cotton the more cotton you have to sell, so the farmers sold more cotton and thus boosted the economy.And witch help the economy and witch gave people more money to make the clothing on our back.

well, first you search for the retail price, then multiply it by two, then divide the total by three, but not before having added 4% to the price, and before you would divide, you would want to lower the diminuitive price by 6%, after thet, but before the rest, you would divide the whole by 40, followed by multiplying it by 20 and then turning it into a fraction, and substracting it by 34/35

that is how you find the manufacturing cost of anything

Lowell became America's model industrial city during the first half of the 19th century. Lowell offered the hope that the country would profit socially as well as economically by adopting industrialism as a way of life. The early Lowell system was distinguished by its state-of-the-art technology, the engineers and inventors who worked on its canal system, its mill architecture, enormous production capabilities, rational city planning, and most of all, by its much-heralded workforce of Yankee "mill girls."

With the invention of the power loom, running off the river, a series of mills or factories were built along the Merrimack River by the Boston Manufacturing Company, an organization founded years prior by the man for whom the resulting city was named, Francis Cabot Lowell. Construction began to in 1821, and the mills were at their peak roughly twenty years later. For the first time in the US, these mills combined the textile processes of spinning and weaving under one roof, essentially eliminating the putting-out system in favor of mass production of high-quality cloth. The workforce at these factories was three-quarters women.

A workforce of thousands, composed primarily of women, came from struggling farms willing to put their daughters to work to bring in extra income. The typical Lowell girl was young, between 15 and 30; unmarried; white; of neither aristocracy nor the homeless; and from a farm that would benefit from extra income. Most Lowell girls sent the majority of their income home for the benefit of their menfolk. Many believe that the women working at this mill were deprived of many rights. The long work days for little pay showed wage differentials between men and women.

The Lowell System, as it was called, was impacted by economic instability and by immigration. A minor depression in 1834 led to a sharp reduction in wages, which in turn produced organization by the female workers and two of the earliest examples of a successful strike. A feature of such organization was the magazines and newsletters put out by the girls, the most famous of which was the Lowell Offering. Then later, when the Panic of 1837 necessitated a true drop in wages, many Lowell girls were replaced by the cheaper Irish "biddies," or "Bridgets." By 1850 the majority of workers at Lowell factories were poor immigrants. One result of this large scale laying-off was that now there were many adult, single women in society, who were used to earning their own money. It was only sensible that they seek other positions (teaching, etc) in which to make money; and by doing so they further contributed to the birth of the working woman

In the South, the effect of the cotton-gin on the production of short-staple cotton, so profitable that Southerners felt they didn't need to develop any other industries.

In the North, technical advance and big immigrations from Europe, encouraging the factory way of life, where slavery was not needed.

Children were put in very hazardous conditions with little pay and equipment. They would have few breaks and often worked long hours of the day, and only had thin clothes and maybe a helmet to protect themselves (in coal mines). Even adult had horrible conditions, but children were a cheap source of labor, so they were used more often and given the worst and most dangerous equipment.
