Required:

Prepare the journal entries to record the activities discussed above:

• Record the use of direct materials with price and usage variances
• Record the incurrence of direct labor with rate and efficiency variances
• Record the incurrence of variable and fixed overhead with spending, efficiency, and production volume variances
• Record the transfer of COGM to FG Inventory
• Record the transfer of goods sold from FG Inventory to COGS
• Close all variances to COGS

Post these entries to T-accounts and come to ending balances:

• Assume all overhead spending comes from cash
• Remember that there is no beginning or ending inventory for WIP and FG
