Answer 1

Answer:

A debit to the Finished Goods Inventory account and a credit to the Work in Process account for the final department in the series of process

Explanation:

In the case when the process related to the production is finished so the completed goods and accumulated profits could be transferred

So, the following should be the journal entry

Finished goods inventory XXXXX

          To Work in Process Inventory - Final dept XXXXX

(Being the production process is completed recorded)

Here the finished goods is debited as it increased the assets and credited the work in process as it decreased the assets
