Selected recent balance sheet and income statement information for the gap, inc. follows: (in millions) 2014 year-end accounts payable $ 1,242 average accounts payable 1,193 sales 16,148 cost of goods sold 9,855 accounts payable days outstanding for 2014 is:

46 days

Explanation:

Given that,

Ending Accounts Payable = $1,242

Cost of goods sold = 9,855

Average accounts payable = 1,193

Payable turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ number of days

                                     = 9,855 ÷ 365

                                     = 27

Days Payable Outstanding:

= Ending Accounts Payable ÷ Payable turnover ratio

= $1,242 ÷ 27

= 46

Therefore, the payable days outstanding for 2014 is 46.

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'

i would say their habit of breaking down.
