Prepare journal entries to record the following production activities. 1. Incurred $59,000 of direct labor in production (credit Factory Payroll Payable). 2. Incurred $22,000 of indirect labor in production (credit Factory Payroll Payable). 3. Paid factory payroll.

The answer has been solved and attached

Explanation:

The work in progress and inventory is the inventory that has almost finished by a company and waiting so was to be changed to finished goods. We are told that direct labour is used, therefore we will have to debit work in progress inventory by $59,000 and credit payable factory payroll by $59,000.

Factory overhead are expenses that a company makes. We have to debit it by $22,000 and credit payable factory payroll by $22,000.

The solution has been attached.

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.'
