Emerging Dock Company manufactures boat docks on an assembly line. Its standard costing system uses two cost categories, direct materials and conversion costs. Each product must pass through the Assembly Department and the Finishing Department. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process. Conversion costs are allocated evenly throughout production.

Data for the Assembly Department for May $20$X$5$ are:

Work in process, beginning inventory: $70$ units

Direct materials $(100\%$ complete$)$

Conversion costs $(25\%$ complete$)$

Units started during May $40$ units

Work in process, ending inventory: $10$ units

Direct materials $(100\%$ complete$)$

Conversion costs $(50\%$ complete$)$

Costs for May:

Standard costs for Assembly:

Direct materials $$8,000$ per unit

Conversion costs $$32,000$ per unit

Work in process, beginning inventory:

Direct materials $$280,000$

Conversion costs $$520,000$

Which of the following journal entries records the total conversion costs variances of the Assembly Department, assuming that conversion costs are $20\%$ higher than expected?

Question $16$ options:

Assembly Department Conversion Costs Allocated $2,800,000$

Conversion$-$Cost Variances $560,000$

Assembly Department Conversion Cost Control $3,360,000$

Work in Process $$ Assembly $560,000$

Assembly Department Conversion Cost Control $560,000$

Work in Process $$ Assembly $3,360,000$

Conversion$-$Cost Variances $560,000$

Assembly Department Conversion Cost Control $2,800,000$

Assembly Department Conversion Costs Allocated $3,360,000$

Direct Materials Variances $560,000$

Finishing Department Conversion Cost Control $2,800,000$

none of the above.
