Peyton’s Palace has net income of $15 million on sales revenue of $130 million. Total assets were $96 million at the beginning of the year and $104 million at the end of the year. Calculate Peyton’s return on assets, profit margin, and asset turnover ratios. Calculate Peyton's return on assets, profit margin, and asset turnover ratios.

See below

Explanation:

1. Returns on assets

= Annual net income ÷ Average total assets

Average total assets = beginning asset + ending assets ÷ 2

= ($80 million + $88 million) ÷ 2

= $84 miiliom

Return on assets = $13.4 million ÷ $84 million

Return on assets = $159.52

2. Profit margin

= Net income ÷ Net sales

= $13.4 million ÷ $114 million

= 11.75%

3. Assets turnover ratio

= Net sales ÷ Average total assets.

Recall Average total assets = $84 million

Average turnover ratio

= $114 million ÷ $84 million

= 1.36 times

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.'
