Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
In both job and process costing, predetermined overhead is applied to work in process based on a predetermined overhead rate. The journal entry to record this involves debiting work in process for the amount of overhead applied and crediting manufacturing overhead applied for the same amount. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the proper journal entry for recording predetermined overhead in job and process costing.
