Alvez reports net income of $347,500 for the year ended december 31. it also reports $115,800 depreciation expense and a $12,550 loss on the sale of equipment. its comparative balance sheet reveals a $50,400 increase in accounts receivable, a $12,750 decrease in prepaid expenses, a $19,450 increase in accounts payable, a $15,900 decrease in wages payable, a $93,700 increase in equipment, and a $125,500 decrease in notes payable. calculate the net increase in cash for the year.

$222,550

Explanation: As we know that :-

Net cash increase = cash flow from operating activities + cash flow from investing activities + cash flow from financing activities

we can calculate these cash flows as follows :-

cash flow from operating activities = net income +  depreciation expense + loss on sale of equipment + increase in accounts payable - increase in accounts receivable + decrease in wages payable

cash flow from operating activities = 347,500 + 115800 + 12,550 + 12,750 +19,450 - 50,400 - 15,900  = $441,750

similarly,

cash flow from investing activities = purchase of equipment = -$93700

cash flow from financing activities= notes payable payments =-$125,500

so,

Net cash increase =  $441,750  -$93700 -$125,500 =  $222,550

i believe that it is a 45% chance.

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.'
