Question number 14 you are the head of marketing for a company that is expanding overseas. you have a 210-page employee manual that must be translated into chinese for the new offices. the company we translate for you charges $2.75 per page for translation. their competitor, translationary, charges $2.35 per page and a $6.25 administrative fee per project. what is the least amount of money you will have to spend to translate the manual

Option B is cheaper. 499.75 against 577.5 of Option A

Explanation:

We need to calculate each alternative

option A

It only has a variable cost, no fixed cost, so we multiply the pages of the manual by their charge per page:

210 pages x 2.75 = 577.50

option B

Here we have a variable cost per page, and a fixed cost, which is an administrative fee per project.

The cost will be multply the manual pages by their charge per page and add the fee

210 pages x 2.35 + 6.25 fee = 499.75

Option A  577.50

Option B  499.75

Option B is cheaper.

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.'
