Answer:

Shrinkage expense

Step-by-step explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Shrinkage expense A/c Dr $15,000

To Inventory A/c $15,000

(Being the shrinkage is recorded)

The computation is shown below"

= Current inventory amount - actual inventory amount

= $500,000 - $485,000

= $15,000

Simply we debited the shrinkage expense account and credited the inventory account so that the correct posting can be done
