1. Prepare appropriate journal entries for variable and fixed manufacturing overhead (you will need to calculate the different variances to accomplish this).
2. Overhead variances may be used to reconcile the Cost of Goods Sold account at the end of the fiscal year. Cost of goods sold (COGS) is then entered on the statement of comprehensive income. Show how COGS is reconciled through journal entries.

Data From Exercise 8-46:

The displays are sold to major PC manufacturers. Following are some manufacturing overhead data for FlatScreen for the year ended December 31, 2015:

FlatScreen's budget was based on the assumption that 17,760 units (panels) will be manufactured during 2015. The planned allocation rate was two machine-hours per unit. FlatScreen uses machine-hours as the cost driver. Actual number of machine-hours used during 2015 was 36,480. The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead costs equal $1,704,960.
