You expect KT Industries (KTI) will have earnings per share of $5 this year and expect that they will pay out $1.25 of these earnings to shareholders in the form of a dividend. KTI's return on new investments is 13% and their equity cost of capital is 15%. The expected growth rate for KTI's dividends is closest to

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.'
