The journal entry to record the flow of costs into Department 1 during the period for direct materials is: B. Work in Process--Department 1 55,000

Materials 55,000

Explanation:

Costs flowing in Department 1 in respect to direct Material is recorded as:

Work In Process - Department 1 $55,000 (debit)

Raw Materials $55,000 (credit)

This journal entry de-recognizes the Materials Account as a result of usage of materials and recognizes the Work - In Process Cost to Department 1 as a result of accumulation of material cost in the manufacturing process
