    c. Work in Process 150,000 Wages Payable 150,000

    Explanation:

    The direct labor costs are $ 150,000 which are debited to work in process and credited by wages payable.

    The indirect Labor costs are $ 125,000 which are debited to factory overhead and credited by payroll.

    The $32,000 are factory overhead expenses which are charged to factory overhead control account.

    Analysis:

    a: The first entry is wrong because the work in process must be debited and wages payable credited.

    b: The second entry is wrong because the work in process must be debited and wages payable credited. Also the indirect labor is included in the direct labor amount.

    c: This entry is correct.

    d: The indirect labor is included in the direct labor amount which is again wrong.
