ANB Leasing is planning to lease an asset costing $210,000. The lease period will be 6 years. At the end of 6 years, the salvage value is estimated to be $30,000. The
asset will be depreciated on a straight-line basis of $30,000 per year over the 6-year
period. ANB’s marginal income tax rate is 40 percent, but its average tax rate is only
31.5%. If ANB Leasing requires a 12 percent after-tax rate of return on the lease,
determine the required annual beginning of the year lease payments

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.'
