Answer:
D. Flow into the Overhead Control account on the ACTUAL side
Step-by-step explanation:
Indirect materials can be accounted for in one of two ways:
1. They are included in manufacturing overhead, and are allocated to the cost of goods sold and ending inventory at the end of each reporting period based on some reasonable method of allocation.
2. They are charged to expense as incurred.
Of theses two accounting methods, inclusion in manufacturing overhead is considered more theoretically accurate, but if the amount of indirect materials is small, it is quite acceptable to instead charge them to expense as incurred. Although indirect materials are not usually tracked through a formal inventory record keeping system. Instead, an informal system is used to determine when to order additional indirect materials or not.
