Answer:

To record the direct and indirect labor transactions for ADT Company, we need to consider the direct and indirect labor costs incurred during the period. Let's prepare the journal entries:

Direct Labor Used (recorded as Factory Wages Payable):

arduino

Copy code

Work in Process Inventory       xx

  Factory Wages Payable        xx

Explanation: This entry records the direct labor cost incurred and adds it to the Work in Process Inventory.

Indirect Labor Used (recorded as Factory Wages Payable):

Copy code

Factory Overhead                xx

  Factory Wages Payable        xx

Explanation: This entry records the indirect labor cost incurred and adds it to the Factory Overhead account.

Now, let's calculate the direct labor cost and indirect labor cost.

Direct Labor Cost:

bash

Copy code

Direct Labor Cost = Factory Payroll - Indirect Labor Used

Direct Labor Cost = $150,000 - $34,500

Direct Labor Cost = $115,500

Now, we can use the calculated direct labor cost to record the direct labor used entry.

Recording the direct labor used entry (using the calculated direct labor cost):

bash

Copy code

Work in Process Inventory       $115,500

  Factory Wages Payable        $115,500

Recording the indirect labor used entry:

bash

Copy code

Factory Overhead                $34,500

  Factory Wages Payable        $34,500

These journal entries capture the direct and indirect labor costs for the period in the job order costing system.
