Answer:

c. Work in Process--Department 2 375,000 Work in Process--Department 1 375,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Work in Process - Department 2 $375,000 ($100,000 + $125,000 + $150,000)

To Work in Proces - Department 1 $375,000

(Being the flow of cost from Dept 1 to Dept 2 is recorded)

Here the work in process for dept 2 is debited as it increased the assets and credited the work in process for dept 2 as it decreased the assets
