The Ruth Company transfers units from the Blending Department to the Bottling Department. In June, the cost of units transferred was $19,000. Which journal entry is correct?
Explanation
Journal entries in a process cost system must accurately reflect the flow of goods and their associated costs from one department to the next, culminating in the transfer to Finished Goods and finally to Cost of Goods Sold.
