Calculating present value (l02) imprudential, inc., has an unfunded pension liability of $415 million that must be paid in 20 years. to assess the value of the liability of $415 million that must be paid in 20 years. to assess the value of the firm's stock, financial analysis want to discount this liability back to present. if the relevant discount rate is 5.2 percent, what is the present value of this liability?

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.'

what is the actual question i have no idea how to answer this w/o a question
