The job-order cost sheet contains accumulated costs for each job, including actual direct materials, actual direct labor, and applied factory overhead.
Gross pay for direct labor is recorded by a debit to Work in Process. Salaries for all other factory personnel are recorded by a debit to Factory Overhead. Salaries of nonfactory personnel are recorded at the end of each month by a debit to the appropriate salary expense accounts. Deductions for employees' FICA and federal income taxes are recorded whenever gross pay is recorded, using the simplified rates of 7.5% (for FICA, including Medicare) and 15% (for federal income tax).
