The polaris company uses a job-order costing system. the following transactions occurred in october: raw materials purchased on account, $210,000. raw materials used in production, $191,000 ($152,800 direct materials and $38,200 indirect materials). accrued direct labor cost of $49,000 and indirect labor cost of $22,000. depreciation recorded on factory equipment, $104,000. other manufacturing overhead costs accrued during october, $129,000. the company applies manufacturing overhead cost to production using a predetermined rate of $5 per machine-hour. a total of 76,000 machine-hours were used in october. jobs costing $512,000 according to their job cost sheets were completed during october and transferred to finished goods. jobs that had cost $448,000 to complete according to their job cost sheets were shipped to customers during the month. these jobs were sold on account at 32% above cost. required: 1. prepare journal entries to record the transactions given above. 2. prepare t-accounts for manufacturing overhead and work in process. post the relevant transactions from above to each account. compute the ending balance in each account, assuming that work in process has a beginning balance of $36,000.

The hawthorne works was a large western electric factory with 45,000 employees. during the 1920s and 1930s, hawthorne works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. in one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. the teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). for each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. for some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity.why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? a, to create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be establishedb, to draw conclusions about the productivity of all workers in the plant based on the test groupsc, to directly control for confounding variablesd, to provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity
