Senate Inc. is considering two alternative methods for producing playing cards. Method One involves using a machine with a Fixed Cost ( mainly Depreciation ) of $17,000 and Variable Costs of $1.00 per deck of cards. Method Two would use a less expensive machine with a Fixed Cost of only $5,000 , but it would require a Variable Cost of $1.50 per deck. The sales Price per deck would be the same under each method At what unit output level , Q , would the two methods provide the same Operating Income ( EBIT )

24,000 units

Explanation:

Given that

Fixed Cost  (mainly Depreciation)= $17,000

Variable Costs = $1.00 per deck

Fixed Cost = $5,000

The computation of operating income is shown below:-

Assume the number of units be x

Option 1  

Total costs = $17,000 + x

Option 2

Total costs =$5,000 + $1.5x

So,

$17,000 + x=$5,000 + $1.5x

x × ($1.5 - 1) = ($17,000 - $5,000)

x = $12,000 ÷ $0.5

= 24,000 units

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.'
