    You have all the information you need.

    The accounts you need which you don't have are Materials inventory, Payroll, Factory Overhead and Overhead Recovered so you debit Work in Progress for each of the inputs and credit the account the input came from, You also credit work in Progress for the value of output and debit Finished Goods Inventory or Cost of Sales depending upon your approach
