I'm not sure about E, but I think D might be correct because an adverse material price variance should be recorded in period 2.

Ah, I got it! The answers are B and E. The price variance should be recorded in period 1, and the job should be debited accordingly. Easy peasy!

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards B and C, but I'm not 100% sure.

Hold up, I'm pretty sure the correct answers are B and E. The job should be debited at the different prices, and the price variance should be recorded in period 1.

I'm a bit confused, but I think B and D are the correct options. There should be an adverse price variance in both periods, right?

So, it makes sense that both period 1 and period 2 would have adverse material price variances recorded.

Yes, that's correct. The actual price of $21 is higher than the standard price of $20, leading to an adverse variance.

I think you're right, both B and D seem to be correct. The price variance should be adverse in both periods.

I'm pretty sure C and E are the right answers here. The inventory at the end of period 2 should be valued at the standard price, and the job should be debited with the different prices.
