the seller after a
sale.

the selling price of
merchandise sold to
customers.

Recall Z-Mart’s sale for $2,400 that had a cost
of $1,600. Assume the customer returns part of
the merchandise. The returned items sell for
$800 and cost $600.

SALES ALLOWANCES
Assume that $800 of the merchandise Z-Mart
sold on November 3 is defective but the buyer
decides to keep it because Z-Mart offers a
$100 price reduction.

ADJUSTING ENTRIES FOR
MERCHANDISERS
A merchandiser using a perpetual inventory system is
usually required to make an adjustment to update the
Merchandise Inventory account to reflect any loss of
merchandise, including theft and deterioration.
Z-Mart’s Merchandise Inventory account at the end of
year 2011 has a balance of $21,250, but a physical
count reveals that only $21,000 of inventory exists.
