suppose apple is currently selling 3,000,000 ipods per year. however, managers at apple are considering whether to increase production by 300,000 ipods. one manager explains that after increasing production by this amount, total profit would be $100 million. given this information, should apple increase production by 300,000 ipods? a. information about the total revenue earned and the total cost incurred from producing 3,300,000 ipods is required to answer this question. b. information about the additional revenue earned and the additional cost incurred from producing 300,000 additional ipods is required to answer this question. c. information about the additional cost incurred from producing 300,000 additional ipods is required to answer this question. d. yes, because apple would earn a profit. e. no, because increasing production by 300,000 ipods would decrease the price of ipods.

answer:

b

explanation:

the main aim of a company, apple in this particular case, is to maximize profits. the company already knows the current profit.

the quest would be figuring out the incremental profit if production is increased. in that way, the figure to analyze is the incremental profit.

therefore, the information needed to take the option -or not - is the one related only to the action proposed: additional revenue and additional costs for those 300,000 new units.

hence, once known this data, just adding it to previous profit will be the prospective profit for 3,300,000 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.'
