Based on predicted production of 28,000 units, a company anticipates $574,000 of fixed costs and $511,000 of variable costs. The flexible budget amounts of fixed and variable costs for 26,000 units are

$574,000 fixed costs and $474,500 variable cost

Explanation:

According to the predicted production of 28,000 units, a company has a fixed cost of $574,000

The variable costs is $511,000

Therefore the flexible budget amount for the fixed and variable costs when 26,000 units are produced can be calculated as follows

The fixed costs still remains constant at $574,000

Variable cost = 511,000/28,000×26,000

= 18.25×26,000

= $474,500

Hence the fixed cost is $574,000 and the variable cost is $474,500

answer; maintain a safe following distance;

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.'
