Answer: a). Debit Factory Payroll Payable $160,000; credit Cash $160,000.
Explanation: Direct labor refers to the manpower used in production. They are the factory workers involved in using the raw materials to produce finished goods.
Expense on direct labor is provided for during the production by a debit to factory payroll expense and a credit to factory payroll payable.
As such, the journal entry will be a debit to factory payroll payable $160,000 and a credit to cash $160,000. This means cash will reduce by $160,000 as the factory workers are paid while payables which is a provision account will reduce as well on the cash book by the same amount.
Answer:
The interest expense company recorded during Year 2 on the 7% debentures is $27,535,600
Explanation:
As the interest expense is different from the interest payment made on the debenture. It also includes some other costs. Effective interest rate includes the effects of all related costs of debentures. So the interest expense of a debenture will base the effective interest rate of the debenture.

Interest Expense = Value of Debenture x Effective interest rate
Interest Expense = $188,600,000 x 14.6%
Interest Expense = $27,535,600

Answer:
- I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting and do some research.
Explanation:
<em>I think Ben is right</em>. Even though the statement is technically correct, it may mislead customers.
Customers may interpret the phrase "<em>no sugar added</em>" as if the product did not contain any sugar.
Thus, customers interested in drinking beverages without sugar at all might think they are "safe" consuming the smoothie beverage, when in reallity each <em>smoothie's bottle contains sugar 35 g of naturally occurring sugars from the fruit.</em>
Customers deserve to be certain on what they are buying, thus the labels must be a sincere help for them, and not ambiguos at all.
This is a "gray zone" and an example of what in ethics is called a dilema.
I think the decision should be shared by a wider team and based on some research.
I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting, where the subject is widely discussed. Also, I would suggest Ben to do some research, look for precedents about labeling in the industry, and try to learn the opinion of the FDA about this sensitive matter.
Most likely true! Economics is the knowledge/ study of how society functions!
