Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The work in process inventory account is used to track the costs of partially completed products as they move through the production process. As manufacturing costs are incurred (such as direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead), they are debited to the work in process inventory account. Once the product is completed, the costs are transferred to the finished goods inventory account. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because manufacturing overhead is a component of manufacturing costs and is therefore included in the work in process inventory account. Option C is incorrect because the cost of goods sold account is used to track the cost of products that have been sold, not products that are still in production. Option D is incorrect because the finished goods inventory account is used to track the cost of completed products that have not yet been sold.
