    All 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.

    All the pay to indirect workers is an indirect cost.

    Have you watched my free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
