Chapter 17, Problem 17.45P

Standard costing, journal entries. The Warner Company manufactures reproductions of expensive sunglasses. Warner uses the standard-costing method of process costing to account for the production of the sunglasses. All materials are added at the beginning of production. The costs and output of sunglasses for May 2017 are as follows:

1. 1. Compute equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.
2. 2. Compute the total standard costs of sunglasses transferred out in May and the total standard costs of the May 31 inventory of work in process.
3. 3. Compute the total May variances for direct materials and conversion costs.
4. 4. Prepare summarized journal entries to record both the actual costs and standard costs for direct materials and conversion costs, including the variances for both production costs.
