Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": technological advances such as those during the Industrial Revolution.

Explanation:

British Anglican clergyman and erudite Thomas Malthus (1766-1834) believed the<em> population would grow geometrically, while food production would grow arithmetically. In such a way scarcity will appear in the long run that will require a decrease in the birth rate</em>. However, Malthus's theory has been proven to be wrong so far due to the introduction of technological advances attributed to the Industrial Revolution by the second half of the 18th century which allowed mass-production of goods.

Using the above information, it can be ascertained that the residual income will be,

\rm Residual\ Income = Income\ from\ Operations - Rate\ of\ Return\ x\ Assets\\\rm Residual\ Income = 80000- (12\%\ x\ 400000)\\\\\rm Residual\ Income = \$32,000

Hence, the residual income will be as computed above.
