Cr. bankMay 29, 2020 at 3:06 pm #572206All wages (whether direct or indirect) will be debited to the wages account. The production wages will then be moved from the wages account to the work-in-progress account where all the production costs will be entered so as to be able to calculate the full production cost of the goods.
