On January 1, 2011, Deuce Inc. acquired 15% of Wiz Co.'s outstanding common stock for $62,400 and categorized the investment as an available-for-sale security. Wiz earned net income of $96,000 in 2011 and paid dividends of $36,000. On January 1, 2012, Deuce bought an additional 10% of Wiz for $54,000. This second purchase gave Deuce the ability to significantly influence the decision making of Wiz. During 2012, Wiz earned $120,000 and paid $48,000 in dividends. As of December 31, 2012, Wiz reported a net book value of $468,000. For both purchases, Deuce concluded that Wiz Co.'s book values approximated fair values and attributed any excess cost to goodwill. What amount of equity income should Deuce have reported for 2012?

$30,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of equity income to reported

Using this formula

Equity income=[(Amount earned in 2012×(Outstanding common stock percentage +Additional percentage of Wiz)]

Let plug in the formula

Equity income = [($120,000 ×(15%+ 10%)]

Equity income = ($120,000 ×25%)

Equity income= $30,000

Therefore the amount of equity income to reported for 2012 will be $30,000

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.'
