The cost accountant at Company C used the high-low method to determine a cost equation of $14,000 plus $1.50 per unit. If the company plans to produce 200,500 units next month, then the total estimated cost will be $

Total cost= $314,750

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $14,000

Unitary variable cost= $1.5

First, we need to structure the total cost formula:

Total cost= 14,000 + 1.5x

x= number of units

Now, the total cost for 200,500 units:

Total cost= 14,000 + 1.5*200,500

Total cost= $314,750

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.'
