5) On July 12, Reliable Repair Service extended an offer of $150,000 for land that had been priced for sale at $185,000. On September 3, Reliable Repair Service accepted the seller's counteroffer of $167,500. Describe how Reliable Repair Service should record the land.

The price should be recorded as $167,500

Explanation:

As per the accounting principles, assets should be recorded at the price they were paid for. In case of a purchase, the accountant should record in the books the amount the company paid to acquire the asset. For sales, the amount received from the buyer is the figure to be recorded in the books.

For Reliable Repair Service, there were different prices quoted, but the buyer paid $167,500. It means the company sold the land for $165,000. This is the amount that should be recorded in the books.

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.'
