500 word paper due by 2:00am. Please help.Week 3:  LEMONADE STAND, PART I

Background

As you have read about in our lecture, we have used a lemonade stand to help us understand some basic concepts of business.   As we pointed out, a lemonade stand has a simple business structure; yet, it can help us understand almost every function of a firm; such as marketing, operations, finance, technology, entrepreneurship and many other aspects.   In our two assignments in this course, you will own and operate your very own lemonade stand as you apply the knowledge you have learned from the course.

Scenario

You have decided to open a lemonade stand in your local neighborhood.  You have grand plans for this stand and expect to attract many customers.  In part I of this assignment, you will develop the basic premise of your new company.   Please answer the following questions, utilizing the textbook, to ensure you apply the lesson we have learned in the previous weeks.

Activity

You are to write roughly 500 words in answering all questions posted above for your Lemonade Stand.  (Please note:  you may list the questions in your paper and answer these in a step by step process, but the word count will only apply to your written words).

The paper needs to be written in an APA format and should have at least your textbook listed as a scholarly source in your bibliography.   Please view the APA tutorial in your syllabus for more on how to format your paper. Your paper should include a cover page and running header as stipulated by APA formatting.

This paper will be evaluated on how you apply the concepts that are detailed in the textbook to a practical idea.   In order to receive the highest grade, it is encouraged that you review the textbook and cite specific area of the text in your responses (taking care in citing these properly).  Additionally, while this is not an English class, grammar will account for a portion of your paper.  Please take care in writing a well develop response.
