When merchandise is sold, the revenue is
reported as sales, and its cost is
recognized as an expense called cost of
merchandise sold. (this appears on the
Income Statement)
Merchandise on hand (not sold) at
the end of an accounting period is
called merchandise inventory.(this
appears on the balance sheet as a
current asset)

Objective 2

The Sales account provides the total amount
charged to customers for merchandise sold,
including cash sales and sales on account.
Sales returns and allowances are granted by the seller to
customers for damaged or defective merchandise.
Sales discounts are granted by the seller to
customers for early payment of amounts owed.
Net sales is determined by subtracting sales returns and
allowances and sales discounts from sales.
6
As we discussed earlier, sellers may offer customers
sales discounts for early payment of their bills. From
the buyer’s perspective, such discounts are referred
to as purchase discounts.
The buyer may return merchandise to the seller (a
purchase return), or the buyer may receive a
reduction in the initial price at which the merchandise
was purchased (a purchase allowance).
7
Cost of merchandise sold was discussed earlier. It is
the cost of the merchandise sold to customers.
6-2
In a PERPETUAL ACCOUNTING
SYSTEM, there will be an account
called Cost of merchandise sold, which
is continuously updated whenever
inventory is bought or sold.
Note – there is another type of accounting system –
The Periodic Accounting System. In this system the
accounting records for inventory are not updated
continuously with each purchase and sale. (We will not
be focusing on his type in this course)

An alternative form of income statement
is the single-step income statement.

Dual Nature of Merchandise Transactions
Each merchandising transaction affects a buyer
and a seller. In the following illustrations, we
show how the same transactions would be
recorded by both the seller and the buyer.

Objective 4
Describe the adjusting and closing
process for a merchandising business.
6-4
Adjusting Entries
Inventory Shrinkage
Merchandising businesses may experience some loss of
inventory due to shoplifting, employee theft, or errors in
recording or counting inventory. If the balance of the
Merchandise Inventory account is larger than the total amount
of merchandise count, the difference is often called inventory
shrinkage or inventory shortage.
31
Inventory Shrinkage e.g.
NetSolutions inventory records indicate that $63,950 of
merchandise should be available for sale on December 31,
6-4
2009. The physical count reveals that only $62,150 is actually
available.
