Hannibal Steel Company's Transport Services Department provides trucks to haul ore from the company's mine to its two steel mills-the Northern Plant and the Southern Plant. Budgeted costs for the Transport Services Department total $311,100 per year, consisting of$0.23 per ton variable cost and $261,100 fixed cost.

Macalister Corporation is developing departmental overhead rates based on direct labor hours for its two production departments-Molding and Assembly. The Molding Department employs 20 people, and the Assembly Department employs 80 people. Each person in these two departments works 2,000 hours per year. The production-related overhead costs for the Molding Department arc budgeted at $190,000, and the Assembly Department costs are budgeted at $80,000. Two support departments-Engineering and General Factory-directly support the two production departments and have budgeted costs of $216,000 and $370,000, respectively. The production departments' overhead rates cannot be determined until the support departments' costs are properly allocated. The following schedule reflects the use of the Engineering Department's and General Factory Department's output by the various departments.

Patel and Sons Inc. uses a standard cost system to apply factory overhead costs to units produced. Practical capacity for the plant is defined as 50,100 machine hours per year, which represents 25,050 units of output. Annual budgeted fixed factory overhead costs are $250,500 and the budgeted variable factory overhead cost rate is $2.00 per unit. Factory overhead costs are applied on the basis of standard machine hours allowed for units produced. Budgeted and actual output for the year was 18,500 units, which took 39,100 machine hours. Actual fixed factory overhead costs for the year amounted to $246,100 while the actual variable overhead cost per unit was $1.90. Based on the information provided above, provide the appropriate journal entries: (a) to record the overhead cost variances for the period (thereby closing out the balance in the Factory Overhead account), and (b) to close the variance accounts to the Cost of Goods Sold (CGS) account at the end of the period.
