Answer: Debit factory overhead $5600; credit cost of goods sold $5600

Step-by-step explanation:

The journal entry simply has to do with the keeping of records of transactions in a company and it shows both the debit balances and the credit balances of the company.

The factory overhead, also referred to as the manufacturing overhead is simply the total cost that is involved in production which can't be traced to a product directly like the indirect cost and the indirect labor.
