A continuously compounded interest rate is 12%. Determine the equivalent rates with both annual and semi-annual and monthly compounding. Approximate to one decimal. Rates with annual, semi-annual and monthly compounding are: 12.1%, 12.4%, and 12.7%, respectively. Rates with annual, semi-annual and monthly compounding are: 12.7%, 12.4%, 12.1%, respectively. Rates with annual, semi-annual and monthly compounding are: 12.7%, 12.1%, and 12.4%, respectively. Rates with annual, semi-annual and monthly compounding are: 12.9%, 12.7%, and 12.3%, respectively.

answer; /// the above statement is (true);

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.'
