Simpson Manufacturing has the following standard cost sheet for one of its products:

The company uses a standard cost system and applies factory overhead cost based on direct labor hours and determines the factory

overhead rate based on a practical capacity of $400$ units of the product.

Simpson has the following actual operating results for the year just completed:

Before closing the perlodic accounts, the $($standard cost$)$ entrles in selected accounts follow.

Required:
