Scoresby Co. uses 6 machine hours and 2 direct labor hours to produce Product X. It uses 8 machine hours and 16 direct labor hours to produce Product Y. Scoresby's Assembly and Finishing departments have factory overhead rates of $240 per machine hour and $160 per direct labor hour, respectively. How much total factory overhead will be allocated to a unit of each of the two products

For product X = $1,760

And for product Y = $4,480

Explanation:

The computation of total factory overhead cost for two products are as follows

For product X and Product Y

= Number of machine hours × factory overhead rate per machine hour + Number of direct labor hours × factory overhead rate per direct labor hour

= 6 × $240 + 2 × $160 + 8 × $240 + 16 × $160

= $1,440 + $320 + $1,920 + $2,560

= $1,760 + $4,480

= $6,240

So for product X = $1,760

And for product Y = $4,480

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.'
