Wickland Company installs a manufacturing machine in its production facility at the beginning of the year at a cost of $136,000. The machine's useful life is estimated to be 10 years, or 120,000 units of product, with a $4,000 salvage value. During its second year, the machine produces 9,600 units of product. Determine the machines' second year depreciation under the units-of-production method. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

$10,560

Explanation:

For computing the depreciation expense for the second year first we have to find out the depreciation per unit which is shown below:

= (Original cost - salvage value) ÷ (estimated production units)

= ($136,000 - $4,000) ÷ (120,000 units)

= ($132,000) ÷ (120,000 units)

= $1.1 per unit

Now for the second year, the depreciation expense would be

= Production units in second year × depreciation per unit

= 9,600 units × $1.1

= $10,560

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.'
