Concept introduction:
Direct material variances:
Direct material variances refer to the difference between the standard direct material cost and actual direct material cost incurred. Direct material cost variances are categorized into following two categories:
- Direct material Rate variance: this variance shows the difference of standard rate and actual rate of material. The formula to calculate this variance is as follows:
- Direct material usage variance: this variance shows the difference of standard usage and actual usage of material. The formula to calculate this variance is as follows:
- Direct material cost or spending variance: this variance shows the difference of
standard cost and actual cost of material. The formula to calculate this variance is as follows:
To indicate:

- 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.)arrow_forwardIf variances are recorded in the accounts at the time the manufacturing costs are incurred, what does a debit balance in Direct Materials Price Variance represent?arrow_forwardKamen Manufacturing Co. estimates the following labor and overhead costs for the period: Required: Use the four-variance method for overhead analysis. Calculate the variances for direct labor and overhead. Prove that the overhead variances equal over- or underapplied factory overhead for the period.arrow_forward
- A. Describe the two variances between the actual costs and the standard costs for factory overhead. B. What is a factory overhead cost variance report?arrow_forward(d) Post the manufacturing overhead transactions to the Manufacturing Overhead T-account, clearly showing the balance before closing the account. State the journal entries necessary to dispose ofthe variance. Assume that the manufacturing overhead variance is immaterial. (e) What is the balance in the Cost of Goods Sold account after the adjustment?(f) Compute Elite’s gross profit earned on the jobs sold, after adjusting for the manufacturing overheadvariancearrow_forward(d) Post the manufacturing overhead transactions to the Manufacturing Overhead T-account, clearlyshowing the balance before closing the account. State the journal entries necessary to dispose ofthe variance. Assume that the manufacturing overhead variance is immaterial. (e) What is the balance in the Cost of Goods Sold account after the adjustment? (f) Compute Elite’s gross profit earned on the jobs sold, after adjusting for the manufacturing overheadvariance (g) Post the appropriate entries to Work in Process Inventory account & determine the account balanceon March 31, the end of the quarter.arrow_forward
- Q) Prepare journal entries for variable and fixed manufacturing overhead costs and variances;write off these variances to cost of goods sold.arrow_forwardRequired information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Alvarez Company for the current period shows a $28,000 favorable volume variance and a $69,000 unfavorable controllable variance. Standard overhead applied for the period is $228,000. a. What is the actual total overhead cost incurred for the period? b. What is the total overhead variance and is it favorable or unfavorable? a. Actual total overhead b. Total overhead variance S 269,000arrow_forwardRequired:1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate and calculate the overhead assigned toeach product.2. Calculate the predetermined departmental overhead rates and calculate the overheadassigned to each product.3. Using departmental rates, compute the applied overhead for the year. What is the under- oroverapplied overhead for the firm?4. Prepare the journal entry that disposes of the overhead variance calculated in Requirement3, assuming it is not material in amount. What additional information would you need ifthe variance is material to make the appropriate journal entry?arrow_forward
- a. Compute the direct material price and efficiency variances. b. (Appendix) Prepare the journal entries to record the purchase and use of the direct materials using standard costing. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required A Required B (Appendix) Prepare the journal entries to record the purchase and use of the direct materials using standard costing. Note: If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. View transaction list Journal entry worksheet < A Record the purchase and use of the direct materials using standard costing. Note: Enter debits before credits. Event 1 General Journal Debit Creditarrow_forwardRequired: Compute One Stop’s predetermined manufacturing overhead rate for 20X9. State the journal entries necessary to record the above transactions in the general journal. Assume that One Stop uses the perpetual inventory system. Post the manufacturing overhead transactions to the Manufacturing Overhead T-account, clearly showing the balance before closing the account. State the journal entries necessary to dispose of the variance. Assume that the manufacturing overhead variance is immaterial.arrow_forward(a) Compute KRAFT ‘R’ US’ predetermined manufacturing overhead rate for 20X8. (b) State the journal entries necessary to record the above transactions in the general journal. Assume that KRAFT ‘R’ US uses the perpetual inventory system. (c) Post the manufacturing overhead transactions to the Manufacturing Overhead T-account and state the balance on the account before performing end of period closing entries. Show the journal entriesnecessary to dispose of the variance. (d)What is the balance in the Cost of Goods Sold account after the adjustment? (e) Compute KRAFT ‘R’ US’gross profit earned on the jobs completed. (f) Open T-accounts for Materials Inventory, Work in Process Inventory and Finished Goods Inventory. Post the appropriate entries to these accounts & determine the ending account balances.arrow_forward
