The charter of a corporation provides for the issuance of 99,983 shares of common stock. Assume that 38,266 shares were originally issued and 4,896 were subsequently reacquired. What is the amount of cash dividends to be paid if a $4 per share dividend is declared

$1,337,480

Explanation:

Dividend is paid on outstanding shares. So, the amount of cash dividends to be paid = [38,266 - 4,896] * $4 = $33,4370 * $4 = $1,337,480

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.'
