Using variance analysis and interpretation Last year, Wrigley Corp. adopted a standard cost system. Labor standards were set on the basis of time studies and prevailing wage rates. Materials standards were determined from materials specifications and the prices then in effect. On June 30, the end of the current fiscal year, a partial trial balance revealed the following: Standards set at the beginning of the year have remained unchanged. All inventories are priced at standard cost. What conclusions can be drawn from each of the four variances shown in Wrigleys trial balance?
Making journal entries Assume that during the month of April the production report of Algonquin Adhesives Inc. in E8-10 revealed the following information: Make journal entries to charge materials (use the materials purchase price variance) and labor to Work in Process. (Remember to retrieve the standard costs from E8-10 before solving this exercise.)

The worksheet you have developed will handle most simple variance analysis problems. Try the problem below for Pscheidl, Inc.: Actual production for October was 11,500 units. Compute the direct materials and direct labor variances for Pscheidl, Inc. Be careful when entering your input because this problem presents the information in a different format from the McGrade Industries data. Save the file as PRIMEVAR4. Print the worksheet when done.
Scattergraph method Using the data in P4-2 and a piece of graph paper: 1. Plot the data points on the graph and draw a line by visual inspection, indicating the trend shown by the data points. 2. Determine the variable cost per unit and the total fixed cost from the information on the graph. 3. Determine the variable cost to be charged to the product for the year. 4. Determine the fixed cost to be charged to factory overhead for the year. 5. Do these answers agree with the answers to P4-2? Why or why not?
