Dek Inc. is a manufacturing firm. When direct materials are issued to production, which of the following accounts should be debited?
raw materials inventory |
||
work-in-process inventory |
||
finished goods inventory |
||
accounts payable |
The correct answer is "Work-in-process inventory"
Reason:
When the direct materials are issued to production, the following entry is passed:
Date | Account Title and Explanations | Debit | Credit |
XX | Work-in-process Inventory | XX | |
Raw Materials Inventory | XX | ||
(Being direct materials issued to production) |
Raw materials inventory is credited because we are not consuming the direct materials and work-in-process inventory is debited since we are currently in the process of manufacturing the finished goods. When the finished good will be manufactured, we will credit the work-in-process inventory and debit the finished goods inventory.
