Explanation: The payment of the total labor factory costs must be recorded, we debit the "Factory payroll" cost account and credit the "cash" account as they were paid in cash.

Then we must allocate these costs to the production process, therefore we debit the "goods in process" account for the amount of direct labor consumed, and "factory overhead" for the amount of indirect labor consumed, and finally credit the account " Factory payroll " for the total.
