using selected information from the answers above, prepare journal entries for the following (omit dates) isolating variances where appropriate

a) the purchase of the direct material (assume on account)

b) the issurance of direct materials to production

c) the incurrence of actual variable manufacturing overhead costs and actual fixed manufacturing overhead.

1)Direct material Price variance =AQ (AP-SP) = 194,040 (8.80 - 8.50) = 58,212 (unfavourable)

DM Eff. Variance= SP (AQ-SQ) = 8.50 (194,040 - 196,000) = -16,660 (Favourable)

2)Direct Labour Variance= AQ (AR-SR) = 69,200 (21 - 21) = 0

Direct Labour Efficiency Variance= SR (AQ-SQ) = 21 (69,200 - 70,000) = -16,800 (favourable)

3)Overheard

Actual variable overhead cost per unit of cost allocation base = 401,360 / 69,200 = 5.80

Actual fixed overhead cost = 435,960

Budgeted fix overhead cost = 432,000

a.Variance material overhead spending variance =(6-5.80) x 69,200 = 13,840 (favourable)

Variance material overhead efficiency variance= (69,200 - 70,000) x 6 = -4,800 (favourable)

b.Fixed overhead spending= 432,000 - 432,960 = -960 (unfavourable)

Fixed volume variance= [72,000 - (2.5 x 28,000)] x 6 = 12,000 (favourable)
