Russell Starling, an Australian citizen and resident, received the following investment income during the current year: $5,000 of dividend income from ownership of stock in a U. S. corporation, $10,000 interest from a certificate of deposit in a U. S. bank, $3,000 of interest income earned from a loan to Clint Westwood, a U. S. citizen, and $2,000 capital gain from sale of a stock in a U. S. corporation. How much of Russell's income will be subject to U. S. taxation

$8000

Explanation:

The amount of Russell's income that will be subject to U.S. taxation will be the $5,000 of dividend income from ownership of stock in a U.S. corporation and the $3,000 of interest income earned from a loan to Clint Westwood, a U.S. citizen.

Both the interest that is earned from a deposit in the U.S. bank and the capital gain are both exempted from the U.S. tax due to the fact that the income is from a foreign source income. Therefore, Russell's income that will be subject to U.S. taxation will be:

= $5000 + $3000

= $8000

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.'
