You estimate that your cattle farm will generate $0.10 million of profits on sales of $2 million under normal economic conditions and that the degree of operating leverage is 5.a. What will profits be if sales turn out to be $1.6 million

Profit would decrease to $0.0 million

Explanation:

The degree of operating leverage is the change in profit as a result of the change in sales revenue

DOL=% change in profit/% change in sales

DOL=5

% change in profit=unknown

% change in sales=($1.6m-$2.0m)/$2.0m

% change in sales=-20%

5=% change in profit/-20%

% change in profit=5*-20%

% change in profit=-100%

the new amount of profit=current amount of profit*(1-% change in profit)

current amount of profit=$0.10 million

the new amount of profit=$0.10 million*(1-100%)

the new amount of profit=$0.0 million

answer: it is a cellular phone

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.'
