Question

Variances, Entries, and Income Statement
A summary of Glendale Company's manufacturing variance report for May 2016 follows:

			Total Standard Costs (9,200 units)		Actual Costs (9,200 units)		Variances
Direct material			$43,240		$47,530		$4,290		U
Direct labor			207,000		206,610		390		F
Variable overhead			37,260		36,880		380		F
Fixed overhead			9,660		9,660		-
			$297,160		$300,680		$3,520		U

Standard material cost per unit of product is 0.5 pounds at $9.40 per pound, and standard direct labor cost is 1.5 hours at $15.00 per hour. The total actual materials cost represents 4,900 pounds purchased at $9.70 per pound. Total actual labor cost represents 14,200 hours at $14.55 per hour. According to standards, variable overhead rate is applied at $2.70 per direct labor hour (based on a normal capacity of 15,000 direct labor hours or 10,000 units of product). Assume that all fixed overhead is applied to work in progress inventory.

a. Determine the following variances:

Do not use negative signs with any of your answers. Next to each variance answer, select either "F" for Favorable or "U" for Unfavorable.

b. Prepare general journal entries to record standard costs, actual costs, and related variances for material, labor, and overhead.
