The Alligator segment of Louisiana Specialty Meats is operating at a loss and has the following data: Sales $600,000 Variable expenses 420,000 Fixed expenses 300,000 If the Alligator segment is eliminated, what will be the effect on the remaining company? Assume that 50% of the fixed expenses will be eliminated and the rest will be allocated to the segments of the remaining company. $150,000 increase. $30,000 decrease. $360,000 increase. $30,000 increase.

$30,000 decrease

Explanation:

The computation of the effect of the remaining company is shown below:

Sales$600,000        

Less: variable Expenses -$420,000        

Contribution$180,000        

Less: Fixed Cost$150,000  ($300,000 × 50%)      

Net Income$30,000

If Alligator segment is eliminated, the net income should be decreased by  $30,000

We applied the above computation so the proper effect could arrive

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.'

the answer to this question would be shared investment
