Answer:

a. debit to Work in Process of $67,000

Explanation:

Labour costs are made up of direct labour cost and indirect labour costs.

An addition of these two items results in amount of money the company will pay as wages to worked (labour).

In the given scenario we will then add direct and indirect labour cost to get wages to be paid.

Wage = 72,000 + 12,000 = $84,000

Wages is credited when raising journal entry

Direct labour will be classified under work in process (that is $72,000)

While indirect labour is manufacturing overhead $12,000)

Work in process and manufacturing overhead are debited when raising journal entry

So one of the entries will be a debit to Work in Process of $67,000
