Journalize the following transactions for Combs Company. (a) Purchased 6,000 units of raw materials on account for $11,500. The standard cost was $12,000.
(b) Issued 5,600 units of raw materials for production. The standard units were 5,800.

See explanation

Explanation:

a. Debit: Raw material $12000

Credit: Account payable $11500

Credit: Material price variance $500

(To record material purchase)

b. Debit: Work in process 11600

Credit: Raw material 11200

Credit: Material price variance 400

(To record material issued)

Note:

Material price variance for (a)= 12000 - 11500 = 500

Work in progress = 5800 × 2 = 11600

Material price variance for (b) = 11600 - 11200 = 400

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.'
