Companies generate income from their "regular" operations and from other sources like interest earned on the securities they hold, which is called non-operating income. lindley textiles recently reported $12,500 of sales, $7,250 of operating costs other than depreciation, and $1,000 of depreciation. the company had no amortization charges and no non-operating income. it had $8,000 of bonds outstanding that carry a 7.5% interest rate, and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 25%. how much was lindley's operating income, or ebit?

The operating income of Lindley's  would be $4250.

Explanation:

In this question it is asked to take out the operating income or EBIT , which is know as earnings before interest and taxes, so while calculating the operating income for the Lindley's the federal plus state tax and interest on bond would not be included.

OPERATING INCOME =

SALES - OPERATING COST - DEPRECIATION

= $12,500 - $7250 - $1000

= $4250

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.'
