Question

Multiple choice question.

factory utilities costs

miscellaneous factory overhead costs

direct labor costs

rent on factory equipment

Answer 1

A journal entry that debits Manufacturing Overhead and credits Accounts Payable would not be used to record direct labor costs.

Direct labor costs are typically debited to Work in Process and credited to various accounts that represent the payment of labor, not Manufacturing Overhead. The other options (factory utilities, miscellaneous factory overhead costs, and rent on factory equipment) can all be accounted for in the Manufacturing Overhead.
