  3. Advertising costs were incurred, $50,500.
  4. Depreciation was recorded for the year: $60,600 (90% relates to factory operations, and 10% relates to selling and administrative activities).
  5. Manufacturing overhead cost was applied to production. The company recorded 40,200 machine-hours for the year.
  6. Goods that cost $484,400 to manufacture according to their job cost sheets were transferred to the finished goods warehouse.
  7. Sales for the year totalled $704,700 and were all on account. The total cost to manufacture these goods according to their job cost sheets was $479,200.

Required:

1. Prepare journal entries to record the transactions given above. (Do not round intermediate calculations. If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

The recently launched Hložek Space Telescope (HST) has just completed its first survey, studyingthousands of stars spread out throughout the Milky Way. Data for one of the stars in the survey, ID200, has been given to you for analysis. Given everything you learned in AST 201 this year, please answer the following questions:

a) The first set of data you receive is a spectrum of a main sequence star taken with the Mac-Donald Spectrometer onboard HST. Based on the fact that the star’s spectrum has strongHydrgen absorption lines and no molecular absorption lines, what spectral type do you be-lieve this star to be? Explain. [3 marks]

b) Based on this star’s spectral type, explain the evolutionary stages that it will go through afterit completes the main sequence phase of its life. How will this star’s life end? [3 marks]

c) HST is also equipped with the Williams Planetary Camera, which searches for planets aroundstars as their spectrum is being measured. Around this particular star, the camera detectedthree planets orbiting 5.2, 7.6, and 9.4 AU from the star. Their orbital periods are calculatedto be 2.8, 3.4, and 3.8 years respectively. Are these measurements qualitatively consistentwith the general trend predicted by Kepler’s Laws? Why or why not? [2 marks]

d) Thanks to the Webb Photometric and Astrometric Instrument also onboard HST, we are ableto determine that the star is 1.7 kpc from the centre of the Milky Way and travelling with anorbital speed of 120.0 km/s. Your classmates found other stars in the Milky Way that are 7.9and 13.7 kpc from the Galactic centre travelling with orbital speeds of 219.4 and 220.0 km/srespectively. Are these measurements consistent with the Milky Way having a significantdark matter component? Why or why not? [2 marks

The East Division of Kensic Company manufactures a vital component that is used in one of...

The East Division of Kensic Company manufactures a vital component that is used in one of Kensic’s major product lines. The East Division has been experiencing some difficulty in coordinating activities between its various departments, which has resulted in some shortages of the component at critical times. To overcome the shortages, the manager of East Division has decided to initiate a monthly budgeting system that is integrated between departments.

The first budget is to be for the second quarter of the current year (April, May and June). To assist in developing the budget figures, the divisional controller has accumulated the following information.

Sales: Sales through the first three months of the current year were 30,000 units. Actual sales in units for January, February, and March, and planned sales in units over the next five months, are given below:

January (actual) 6,000

February (actual) 10,000

March (actual) 14,000

April (planned) 20,000

May (planned) 34,000

June (planned) 51,000

July (planned) 45,000

August (planned) 30,000

In total, the East Division expects to produce and sell 250,000 units during the current year.

Direct Material: Two different materials are used in production of the component. Data regarding these materials are given below:

Material 208:

Materials per Finished Component: 4 pounds

Cost per pound: $5.00

Inventory at March 13: 46,000 pounds

Material 311:

Materials per Finished Component: 9 feet

Cost per foot: $2.00

Inventory at March 31: 69,000 feet

Material No. 208 is sometimes in short supply. Therefore, the East Division requires that enough of the material be on hand at the end of each month to provide for 50% of the following month’s production needs. Material No. 311 is easier to get, so only one-third of the following month’s production needs must be on hand at the end of each month.

Direct Labor:   The East Division has three department through which the components must past before they are completed. Information relating to direct labor in these departments is given below:

Department: Shaping

Direct Labor Hours per Finished Component: .25

Cost per Direct Labor Hour: $18.00

Department: Assembly

Direct Labor Hours per Finished Component: .70

Cost per Direct Labor Hour: $16.00

Department: Finishing

Direct Labor Hours per Finished Component: .10

Cost per Direct Labor Hour: $20.00

Direct labor is adjusted to the workload each month.

Manufacturing Overhead: East Division manufactured 32,000 components during the first three months of the current year. The actual variable overhead costs incurred during this three-month period are shown below. Each Division’s controller believes that the variable overhead costs incurred during the last nine months of the year will be at the same rate per component as experienced during the first three months.

Utilities $57,000

Indirect Labor $31,000

Supplies $16,000

Other $8,000

Total variable overhead $112,000

The East Division has planned fixed manufacturing overhead costs for the entire year as follows:

Supervision $872,000

Property Taxes $143,000

Depreciation $2,910,000

Insurance $631,000

Other $72,000

Total fixed manufacturing

  Overhead $4,628,000

Finished Goods Inventory: The desired monthly ending inventory of completed components is 20% of the next month’s estimated sales. The East Division has 4,000 units in the finished goods inventory on March 31.

Selling and Administrative Expenses: Selling and Administrative Expenses are budgeted at $400,000 per month plus 1% of total credit sales for the month.
