Answer and Explanation:

The Journal entry is shown below :-

1. Raw Materials Inventory Dr, $46,540

  Materials Price Variance Dr, $3,580

                    To Accounts Payable $50,120

(Being accounts payable is recorded)

Working note

Materials price variance = (Actual price - Standard Price) × Actual Quantity

= ($2.80 - $2.60) × 17,900

= $3,580 Unfavorable

Raw Material = Actual Quantity × Standard Price

= 17,900 × $2.60

= $46,540

Accounts Payable = Actual Quantity × Actual price

= 17,900 × $2.80

= $50,120

2. Work in Process Inventory Dr, $45,552

    Materials Quantity Variance Dr, $988

                  To Raw Materials Inventory $46,540

(Being raw material inventory is recorded)

Working Note

Materials quantity variance = (Actual Quantity Used- Standard Quantity) × Standard Price

= (17,900 - 17,520) × $2.60

= $988 Unfavorable

Work in Process Inventory = Standard Quantity × Standard Price

= 17,520 × $2.60

= $45,552

Raw Material = Actual Quantity × Standard Price

= 17,900 × $2.60

= $46,540

3. Factory Labor Dr, $78,000

            To Labor Price Variance $6,000

             To Factory Wages Payable $72,000

(Being factory labor is recorded)

Working Note:-

Labor price variance = (Actual Rate - Standard Rate) × Actual Hour

= ($4.80 - $5.20) × 15,000

= $6,000 Favorable

Factory labor = Standard Rate × Actual Hour

= $5.20 × 15,000

= $78,000

Factory Wages Payable = Actual Rate × Actual Hour

= $4.80 × 15,000

= $72,000

4. Work in Process Inventory Dr, $79,040

            To Labor Quantity Variance $1,040

            To Factory Labor $78,000

(Being work in progress is recorded)

Working note

Labor Quantity variance = (Actual Hour - Standard Hour) × Standard Rate

= (15,000 - 15,200) × $5.20

= $1,040

Work in Process Inventory = Standard Hour × Standard Rate

= 15,200 × $5.20

= $79,040

Factory Labor = Actual Hour × Standard Rate

= 15,000 × $5.20

= $78,000

5. Work in Process Inventory Dr, $79,040

                To Manufacturing Overhead $79,040

(Being manufacturing overhead is recorded)
