Actual variable overhead was \)1,700

Actual fixed overhead was \(7,300

Direct materials cost variance \) 130 U

Direct materials efficiency variance 420 F

Direct labor cost variance 900 F

Direct labor efficiency variance 2,100 F

Variable overhead cost variance 1,500 U

Variable overhead efficiency variance 1,500 F

Fixed overhead cost variance 600 U

Marsh produced 1,000 units of finished product in 2018. Record the journal entries to record direct materials, direct labor, variable overhead, and fixed overhead, assuming all expenditures were on account and there were no beginning or ending balances in the inventory accounts (all materials purchased were used in production, and all goods produced were sold). Record the journal entries to record the transfer to Finished Goods Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold (omit the journal entry for Sales Revenue). Adjust the Manufacturing Overhead account
