Step-by-step explanation:

Preparation of the journal entries

A. Dr Materials $18,825

(2,450*$48.50 per unit)

Dr Direct Materials Price Variance $8,575

[2,450*($52.00 per unit-$48.50 per unit)]

Cr Accounts Payable $127,400

(2,450*$52.00 per unit)

B. Dr Work in Process $97,000

(200*10 units *$48.50)

Cr Direct Materials Quantity Variance $4,850

(2,000 units – 1,900 units) × $48.50

Cr Material 92,150

(1,900 × $48.50 )
