    The journal entry is as follows:

    Explanation:

    Work in Progress A/c ... Dr $198,000

    Labor efficiency variance (unfavourable) ... Dr $9,000

    Labor rate variance A/c ... Cr $4,600

    Wages Payable A/c ... Cr $202,400

    Working Note:

    Standard hour = Standard direct labor hours * (Standard hour - Actual hour)

    = $2.2 * 5,000

    = $11,000

    Labor efficiency variance = $18 * (11,000 - 11,500)

    = $18 * 500

    = $9,000

    Standard cost = Standard rate * Standard hour

    = $18 * 11,000

    = $198,000

    Actual Cost = Actual rate * Actual hour

    = $17.6 * 11,500

    = $202,400
