What was the unintended consequence of the Cotton Gin?
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.
How will increase in the price of a substitute good shift the demand curve?
An increase in the price of a substitute good will increase demand for the original good, thus shifting the demand curve to the right.
In recent years the US has been changing from a service economy to a manufacturing economy?
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.

Is maintenance a fixed cost or variable cost?
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.

What is direct cost and indirect cost?
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.
What happens when demand rises by more than supply falls?
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
How demand for a good can affect demand for a related good?

What was the role of cotton in the Civil War?
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.

How do you calculate the total manufacturing cost?
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
