Crane Music produces 60000 CDs on which to record music. The CDs have the following costs: Direct Materials $14500
Direct Labor 17000
Variable Overhead 4500
Fixed Overhead 7000
Crane could avoid $4000 in fixed overhead costs if it acquires the CDs externally. If cost minimization is the major consideration and the company would prefer to buy the 60000 units externally, what is the maximum amount that Crane should pay to purchase the 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.'
