A family spends $40,000 on living expenses. With an annual inflation rate of 6 percent, they can expect to spend approximately in one year. Use Exhibit 1-A. (Round time value factors to 3 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.) M

$42,400

Explanation:

The family currently spends $40,000 on living expenses.

Inflation is expected to be 6% and as Inflation is used to refer to the general rise in prices, this means that the family will be spending 6% more in one year.

They will therefore be spending;

= 40,000 * (1 + 6%)

= $42,400

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.'
