Saunders Company purchased equipment by signing a noninterest-bearing note of $21,000 with payment due in three years. The equipment is custom-built, so its cash price is unavailable. Using a rate of 9%, which reflects the appropriate interest rate for a loan of this type of loan, the present value of the note is $16,216.

Prepare the appropriate journal entry to record the purchase of the equipment.

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.'
