If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.

Answer 1

The journal entry is as follows:

Work in progress account Dr. $76,420

Factory Overhead accounts Dr. $9,100

To wages payable A/c $85,520

(To record the factory labor cost)

Workings:

All the direct cost related to labor will go to the work in progress account and the indirect cost will go to the Factory Overhead account.

Work in progress:

= $3,500 + 6,650 + 21,900 + 14,440 + 8,620 + 2,760 + 18,550

= $76,420

Factory overhead = Indirect labor and it is given in the question

= $9,100
