Units of production data for the two departments of Continental Cable and Wire Company for November of the current fiscal year are as follows: Drawing Department Winding Department Work in process, November 1 6,000 units, 50% completed 2,200 units, 70% completed Completed and transferred to next processing department during November 82,200 units 81,400 units Work in process, November 30 4,600 units, 65% completed 3,000 units, 25% completed a. If all direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production, determine the direct materials and conversion equivalent units of production for November for the Drawing Department. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".

Answer and Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Calculation for direct material and equivalent conversion is presented below:

Particulars                           Materials                                Conversion cost

      Units (a)        % of completion (b)  Equivalent units (a ×b)     % of completion (d)   Equivalent units  (a × d)

Beginning WIP    6,000 units    0%                    0                          50%

3,000 units

Completed units  76,200 units  100%                76,200                100%

76,200 units

Ending WIP            4,600 units    100%                4,600 units         65%

2,990 units  

Total                      86,800 units                           80,800 units

82,190 units

Working notes

1. The 50% is considered as 50% is beginning work in process so the remaining would be considered

2. The 76,200 units is come from

= 82,200 units - 6,000 units

= 76,200 units

3.  And at last we total beginning WIP + completed units and ending WIP

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.'
