The sampling unit in a test of controls pertaining to the occurrence of payroll transactions ordinarily is a(n)

B.Comparison of daily journal entries with factory labor summary.
C.Reconciliation of unfinished job summary and production cost records.
D.Comparison of periodic cost budgets and time cards.
B. Comparison of daily journal entries with factory labor summary.
