Barnett, Inc., which uses a process-costing system, transfers completed production from Department no. 1 to Department no. 2 for further work. Which of the following best describes the account that would be credited to record this transfer?

b. Finished-Goods Inventory: Department no. 1

d. Work-in-Process Inventory: Department no. 1

e. Work-in-Process Inventory: Department no. 2

Answer 1

d. Work-in-Process Inventory: Department no. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Work-in-Process Inventory: Department no. 2 A/c Dr XXXXX

To Work-in-Process Inventory: Department no. 1 A/c XXXXX

(Being the transfer is recorded)

For transferring this, we debited the transfere account and credited the transferor account so in this case, the department 2 is debited and department 1 is credited
