Marblehead Manufacturing, Inc., has two departments, Mixing and Blending. When goods are completed in Mixing, they are transferred to Blending and then to the finished goods storeroom. There was no beginning or ending work in process in either department. Listed below is information to be used in preparing journal entries at the end of October:

Prepare journal entries for the following:

1. The issuance of direct materials into production and the recording of the materials variances.

2. The use of direct labor in production and the recording of the labor variances.

3. The entries to record the actual and applied factory overhead.

4. The entries to transfer the production costs from Mixing to

Blending and from Blending to finished goods.
