Answer to Problem 1SCQ
Industrial resolution is that phase of European and American history when the economies of Europe and America transformed from agriculture based to manufacturing based. The industrial revolution was initiated in Great Britain.
Explanation of Solution
From the late 18th century to early 19th century, more precisely1760 to 1820 and 1840, the European and American economies shifted their base from agriculture to machine-based industry. This change happened in a short span of time and ushered in radical change in the way these countries used to produce and consume. The developments in this phase were so important that they changed the entire structure of the economies and transformed them from being poor and primitive to rich and modern. That is why this event is known as industrial revolution. Industrial revolution was spurred in the Great Britain for the first time.

The clients are mostly the children of working parents. Your friends realize that they are going to enter a market that already has competition and that they will have to compete for the same customers. Their goal is to attract as many customers as possible, keep their prices within reach, be different, and at the same time make profits in the long run. Your friends approached you to ask you the following questions to help them make the best business decision: If we provide a bit different services than the competition, such as longer hours, healthy lunch, and smaller staff to children ratio, do you think we can charge significantly higher prices than our competition? Explain why. Given that we have competition, what do we need to do to make our business profitable? How can we determine whether we are making…arrow_forward2. Truck or Train? They both move, right? Your uncle and aunt operate a food truck near a busy train station. Their primary customers are commuters who work in another town. They told you that it costs them about $1,000 daily to run the food truck from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. (on average $100 per hour). They average $1,500 in revenue per day. They want to make more money, and they have the idea of extending their hours until 9:00 p.m. daily. They want your opinion, so they ask you the following questions: If we extend our hours from 5:00 p.m. to either 7:00 pm or 9:00 p.m., how do we know it’s worth it? How do we know that it is beneficial to close later knowing that every additional hour of operation costs us $100? Do you think it is a good idea to raise our prices to increase our revenues? How do we know if raising prices is beneficial to us? What should we do if our costs exceed our revenues over time? Should we stay in business or shut down? Why?arrow_forward

She shared the graph that follows from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that she recently obtained that shows the average wage (salary) by profession. She was very confused about why different professions pay people different wages. She was expecting the pay rate for people who work in the farming industry to be paid more than other “unnecessary” professions. While sharing the data with you, she asked the following questions: Why do workers in business and financial operations get paid more than those who work in farming and health care? After all, farmers make food and health care workers help people’s health. I don’t get it, but who decides how much people in certain professions get paid? I mean who decides how much I should be compensated for my work? Why…arrow_forward
