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>
Answer: Delegation.
Explanation:
Dante being the operations manager in his company has delegated, half of the project work to the supervisors working under him. Delegation involves a higher authority giving a duty to a subordinate to carry-out, of which the subordinate must give a report at the end, on how the duty was carried out.

Answer:
a. $2,200,000
Explanation:
We solve considering the inventory identity:
the difference during the year means the difference between ending and beginning inventory was of 200,000
So we plug that into the formula and solve
Purchase 2,200,000
