Dougher Corporation uses a standard cost system in which inventories are recorded at their standard costs and any variances are closed directly to Cost of Goods Sold.The standard cost card for the company's only product is as follows: During the year, the company started and completed 26,900 units.Direct labor employees worked 14,250 hours at an average cost of $20.20 per hour. Assume that all transactions are recorded on a worksheet as shown in the text.On the left-hand side of the equals sign in the worksheet are columns for Cash, Raw Materials, Work in Process, Finished Goods, and PP&E (net).All of the variance columns are on the right-hand-side of the equals sign along with the column for Retained Earnings. When the direct labor cost is recorded, which of the following entries will be made?

Buchauer Corporation manufactures one product.It does not maintain any beginning or ending Work in Process inventories.The company uses a standard cost system in which inventories are recorded at their standard costs and any variances are closed directly to Cost of Goods Sold.There is no variable manufacturing overhead.The company's balance sheet at the beginning of the year was as follows: The standard cost card for the company's only product is as follows: The company calculated the following variances for the year: The standard fixed manufacturing overhead rate was based on budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead of $42,000 and budgeted activity of 10,500 hours.
