Answer:
a) a downward shift in the AFC curve
Explanation:
AFC = Average Fixed Cost, AVC = Average Variable Cost, MC = Marginal Cost
Average Fixed Cost is defined as the fixed cost of production divided by the quantity produced. Mathematically given as:
Average Fixed Cost = Fixed Cost ÷ Quantity
AVC = FC ÷ Q
Average Variable Cost is defined as the variable cost of production divided by the quantity produced. Mathematically given as:
AFC = VC ÷ Q
Marginal Cost is defined as the cost incurred for an additional unit to be produced. Mathematically given as:
MC = ΔC ÷ ΔQ
The firm discovered a more efficient technology implies that the cost of production is reduced. The result of this is that the fixed cost (FC) is reduced and consequently, the AFC is reduced as well. Hence, the AFC curve shifts downward. We therefore see that a reduction in fixed costs (due to the discovery of a more efficient technology) results in the AFC curve shifting downwards
<u>Hence, Option A (a downward shift in the AFC curve) is the correct answer </u>

Risk pooling allows an insurance carrier to provide an income stream via an immediate annuity, even with its costs and expenses, far more cheaply than a person could on his or her own. Risk pooling is the practice of sharing all risks among a group of insurance companies.
Answer: A) Remainderman
Explanation:
A Remainderman may sound like something from a horror movie but it is a property law term that refers to a person that is billed to take over or inherit an estate after the LIFE ESTATE of the previous owner is terminated.
Life Estate is an agreement where a person owns a property or asset for the duration of their life but as soon as they pass on, the asset or property reverts back to the original owner of a THIRD party.
The Remainderman is the person who the property reverts to.
In the above scenario therefore, the woman is in possession of a Life Estate but the Stepson is the Remainderman.
