Blueberry Baking Company produced 5,500 cakes that require 3 standard pounds per unit at a $3 standard price per pound. The company actually used 16,650 pounds in production. Journalize the entry to record the standard direct materials used in production.

Dr. Work in process                  $49,500

Dr. Material Quantity Variance $4,500

Cr. Raw material Inventory        $49,500

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the Material usage variance

Standard Material = 5,500 cakes x 3 pounds = 16,500 pounds

Standard cost of Standard Material = 16,500 pounds x $3 = $49,500

Actual usage at standard cost = 16,650 pounds x $3 = $49,950

Material usage Variance = $49,950 - $49,500 = $450 unfavorable

When the actual cost incurred is more than the standard cost the variance is unfavorable.

answer: tell me how

explanation:

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.'
