Jacobs Company manufactures a single product and uses a standard costing system. The nature of its product dictates that it be sold in the period it is produced. Thus, no ending work in process or finished goods inventories remain at the end of the period. However, raw materials can be stored and are purchased in bulk when prices are favorable. Per-unit standard product costs are material, $8 (4 pounds); labor, $6 (0.5 hour); and variable overhead, $4 (based on direct labor hours). Budgeted fixed overhead is $54,000. Jacobs accounts for all inventories and cost of goods sold at standard cost and records each variance in a separate account. The following data relate to May when 17,700 finished units were produced. a. Assume Jacobs purchased 69,000 pounds of raw materials on account at $2.20 per pound and used 67,000 pounds in May's production, prepare a journal entry to record the purchase of raw materials and a separate journal entry to record the use of raw materials in production. Record these entries using standard costs and include the appropriate materials variances.
