On January 1, Year 1, the City Taxi Company purchased a new taxi cab for $36,000. The cab has an expected salvage value of $2,000. The company estimates that the cab will be driven 200,000 miles over its life. It uses the units-of-production method to determine depreciation expense. The cab was driven 45,000 miles the first year and 48,000 the second year. What would be the depreciation expense reported on the Year 2 income statement and the book value of the taxi, respectively, at the end of Year 2? a. $8,640 and $19,260
b. $8,640 and $17,260
c. $8,160 and $20,190
d. $8,160 and $18,190

C

Explanation:

Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

year 2 = (48,000 / 200,000) x (36,000 - 2000) = 8160

book value = cost of asset - accumulated depreciation

accumulated depreciation = year 1 + year 2's depreciation

year 1 =  (45,000 / 200,000) x (36,000 - 2000) =

- 200,000 - (7650 + 8160) =

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.'
