The standard rate for direct labor is $41 per hour. During the year, Cook processed 62,800 units of seafood for the year, of which 5,024 units are in ending finished goods. (There are no work-in-process inventories). Cook used 130,500 hours of labor. Total direct labor costs paid by Cook for the year amounted to $4,767,500.
 
Required:
a. & b. What was the direct labor price variance and the direct labor efficiency variance for the year?
c. Assume Cook writes off all variances to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the entries Cook would make to record and close out the variances.
d. Assume Cook prorates all variances to the appropriate accounts. Prepare the entries Cook would make to record and close out the variances.
