If an unprofitable segment is eliminated it is impossible for net income to decrease. it is impossible for net income to increase. fixed expenses allocated to the eliminated segment will be eliminated. variable expenses of the eliminated segment will be eliminated.

The correct answer is variable expense will also be eliminated of the segment which got eliminated.

Explanation:

The segment in the business which is not profitable anymore, then that segment would be eliminated or removed, which will result in net income will always increase or rise. And the variable costs of that eliminated segment will be absorbed through other segments or will be eliminated.

Though the segment is removed, the fixed costs which is allocated to the segment will be covered still.

So, when the segment is eliminated, then the variable expense of that segment would be eliminated.

you had the wrong answer

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.'
