Alan Fillmore’s lifelong dream is to own his own fishing boat to use in his retirement. Alan has recently come into an inheritance of $410,900. He estimates that the boat he wants will cost $334,300 when he retires in 6 years. Click here to view factor tables How much of his inheritance must he invest at an annual rate of 4% (compounded annually) to buy the boat at retirement? (Round factor values to 5 decimal places, e. g. 1.25124 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e. g. 458,581.)

$264202

Explanation:

We use the present value formula to calculate the money to be invested now in order to get 334300

PV = FV *1/(1+R)^n

      334300*1/(1.04)^6

      =$264202

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.'
