Slick Corporation is a small producer of synthetic motor oil. During May, the company produced 5,000 cases of lubricant. Each case contains 12 quarts of synthetic oil. To achieve this level of production, Slick purchased and used 16,500 gallons of direct materials at a cost of $20,682. It also incurred average direct labor costs of $14 per hour for the 4,098 hours worked in May by its production personnel. Manufacturing overhead for the month totaled $9,418, of which $2,200 was considered fixed. Slick's standard cost information for each case of synthetic motor oil is as follows

Direct materials standard price	$	1.30	per gallon
Standard quantity allowed per case		3.25	gallons
Direct labor standard rate	$	16	per hour
Standard hours allowed per case		0.75	direct labor hours
Fixed overhead budgeted	$	2,600	per month
Normal level of production		5,200	cases per month
Variable overhead application rate	$	1.50	per case
Fixed overhead application rate ($2,600 5,200 cases)		0.50	per case
Total overhead application rate	$	2.00	per case

Required:

a. Compute the materials price and quantity variances.

b. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances.

c. Compute the manufacturing overhead spending and volume variances.

d. Prepare the journal entries to:

1. Charge materials (at standard) to Work in Process.

2. Charge direct labor (at standard) to Work in Process.

3. Charge manufacturing overhead (at standard) to Work in Process.

4. Transfer the cost of the 5,000 cases of synthetic motor oil produced in May to Finished Goods.

5. Close any over- or underapplied overhead to cost of goods sold.

A.

Compute the materials price and quantity variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "Favorable" or "Unfavorable". Select "None" and enter "0" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

B.

Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "Favorable" or "Unfavorable". Select "None" and enter "0" for no effect (i.e., zero variance)

		Favor or UnFavor
Labor rate variance	$

C.

Compute the manufacturing overhead spending and volume variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "Favorable" or "Unfavorable". Select "None" and enter "0" for no effect (i.e., zero variance)).

		Favor or Unfavor

D.

Prepare the journal entries to:

1. Charge materials (at standard) to Work in Process.

2. Charge direct labor (at standard) to Work in Process.

3. Charge manufacturing overhead (at standard) to Work in Process. 4. Transfer the cost of the 5,000 cases of synthetic motor oil produced in May to Finished Goods. 5. Close any over- or underapplied overhead to cost of goods sold. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.
