INTRODUCTION
The service type of business has been covered during the past months wherein the Inventory account
is not used since income is earned thru the performance of certain services. Revenue earned is simply
recorded as:
The manufacturing type of business will be discussed in detail in your Acctg 102. However, just note
how one of the main distinctions in manufacturing businesses is found in their Inventory Accounts which
uses the following titles:
1. Raw Materials
2. Work In Process (WIP)
3. Finished Goods

Similar to the lessons discussed in Week 1, the Accounting Cycle of a Merchandising Business follows
these steps:
1. Transaction Analysis
2. Journalizing
3. Posting
4. Preparation of Trial Balance
5. Adjusting Entries
6. Preparation of a Worksheet
7. Preparation of Financial Statements
8. Closing Entries
9. Preparation of Post-Closing Trial Balance
10. Reversing Entries
The main difference will be the usage of Distinct Account Titles depending on the Inventory System
which will also affect the Financial Statements format but yield the same end-figures. Without further
ado, let’s discuss the 2 Systems used by Merchandising Businesses.
I. Definition
- This system involves maintenance of detailed inventory records in the accounting system.
Continuous record is maintained on a transaction-by-transaction basis throughout the period. It records
adjustment to inventory balances after every transaction through point-of-sale-inventory systems.
Advantages
1. Records the changes in level of stock real time. This continuous stock tracking provides
a firm the ability to find out the inventories that are running low at the right time.
2. Allows big companies with multiple locations to operate at ease. Real time inventory
count of all locations on a screen makes it easy for the central facility to find the total
requirements of the chain and place an order for it.
3. It allows the company to understand the buying pattern of the customer e.g. what
particular time of the day causes the demand to spike, or the condition of the weather is
related to more demand. Based on this, the business can design a supply chain around the
buying habits of the customer.

Disadvantages
1. The technology necessary for the system (barcodes, scanner, computer software, etc.)
to work can be a huge expense. Updating the new system and training or adding new ones
to work on the system are another expense
2. Recorded inventory may not reflect the actual inventory because physicals aren’t used.
Therefore, whenever errors are entered into the systems, items are stolen or merchandise
isn’t properly scanned, the recorded figures will not match with the actual inventory
Businesses with large sales volume and multiple retail outlets (like supermarkets and
pharmacies) need perpetual inventory systems. By using this system, managers are able to
make appropriate timing of purchases with a clear quantity of goods on hand at various locations.
The main difference, in terms of journal entries, between periodic and perpetual inventory
system is that in perpetual inventory system, purchases, returns and discounts, and other costs
associated with the purchase are directly recorded in the Merchandise Inventory account. Under
perpetual inventory system, transactions related to the acquisition of inventory are recorded
accordingly:
1) To record a purchase
Also, in the perpetual inventory system, there is a continuous update of the Cost
of Goods Sold. Under perpetual inventory system, transactions related to the sale of
inventory are recorded accordingly:

QUIZ BOWLERS’ SOCIETY LECTURE NOTES
a. Sales - the proceeds from the sales price of the goods sold. Only sales of merchandise
held for resale are recorded under this account. Under this system, a sale of inventory transfers
the cost of inventory from inventory account to cost of goods sold account. Thus, a journal entry
for Cost of Goods Sold should be done.
b. Cost of Goods Sold – an expense item used to recognize the cost of good being sold in the
same period in which the sale is recognized. The amount recorded in Cost of Goods Sold is the
cost of the inventory and not necessarily the amount recorded in the sales revenue. It has a
normal debit balance.
c. Sales Returns and Allowances - a contra-income account and deducted from gross
sales in income statement. Account used to record returns acknowledged or allowances granted
by the supplier to the buyer. It increases inventory and decreases Cost of Goods Sold.
d. Sales Discounts - a contra-income account and deducted from gross sales in income
statements. It is granted by the seller to the buyer for paying within the discount period.
Under the perpetual inventory system, cost of transporting the goods are recorded accordingly:
(1) FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid – seller is legally responsible for the freight charges,
paid by seller. Under this term, the buyer has not yet incurred any freight.

QUIZ BOWLERS’ SOCIETY LECTURE NOTES
(2) FOB Destination, Freight Collect – seller is legally responsible for the freight
charges, but paid by buyer.
*Accounts Payable is deducted by the charges paid by the buyer for the benefit of the seller.
(3) FOB Shipping Point, Freight Collect – buyer is legally responsible for the freight charges,
paid by buyer. Sometimes, transportation cost is added in the purchase price but when a
separate payment is made for transportation cost, it is recoded as follows:
(4) FOB Shipping Point, Freight Prepaid – buyer is legally responsible for the freight charges
but paid by seller.
(1) FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid – seller is legally responsible for the freight
charges, paid by seller.
(2) FOB Destination, Freight Collect - seller is legally responsible for the freight
charges, but paid by buyer.
*Accounts Receivable is deducted by the charges paid by the buyer for the benefit of the seller.
(3) FOB Shipping Point, Freight Collect – buyer is legally responsible for the freight
charges, paid by buyer.

(4) FOB Shipping Point, Freight Prepaid – buyer is legally responsible for the freight
charges but paid by seller.
Purchases
1. On April 1, 2020, QBS Co. purchased 15 washing machines at $400 per machine on
account. The supplier allows a discount of 5% if payment is made within 10 days of purchase.
The QBS Co. uses a net price method to record the purchase of inventory.
*Net of discount = 400 x 15 x 95% = 5,700 OR = (400 x 15) – (5% x 6,000) = 5,700
Transportation In
The return of washing machines to the supplier decreases the cost of inventory and accounts
payable. The following entry would be made to record this decrease:

Purchase Discounts
4. On April 9, QBS sent the payment via an online banking system and took advantage of
the discount offered by the supplier.
As the payment is made within 10 days, the QBS Co. is entitled to receive a discount. The
following entry would be made to record the payment:
Sales
1. On April 15, QBS Co. sold 4 washing machines at $650 per machine. The QBS Co. does
not allow any discount to customers.
The sale of 4 washing machines transfers the cost of inventory from inventory account to cost
of goods sold account. Two journal entries would be made; one for the sale of 4 washing
machines and one for the transfer of cost from inventory account to cost of goods sold account:

I. Definition
This system allows a company to track its beginning and ending inventory within an accounting
period, but it does not track the inventory on a daily or per-sale basis. This is more appropriate for
businesses selling inexpensive goods or different low-priced items. The sales transactions
resulting from the sale of these items are voluminous. As such, it is not feasible to be tracing from the
records the cost of each small item every time a sale is consummated. For example, a supermarket
cannot trace every bottle of shampoo sold. The inventory is counted and the cost of goods sold is
determined at the end of the period.
Periodic systems work well for some types of business, some individuals believe that this system
is the right way to go for their businesses and some argue that this system is a massive waste of time.
Before you make a decision in using this system, one should consider first it’s advantages and
disadvantages to avoid wasting time and money.
Advantages
1. It is easy to implement since it has simple record-keeping and does not require greater skills
or experience.
2. Ideal for smaller businesses or those selling goods with different low-priced items.
3. It has a lower start-up cost because it only requires a few materials to be properly conducted.
Disadvantages
1. Chance of fraud and forgery lies because continuous control over merchandise is absent.
2. It can disrupt business hours and increase overtime costs because it requires the dedication
of the employees to the task of manually counting every single item.
3. The process is slow because it needs to wait until the physical check is finished.
It is clearly not lacking in benefits particularly when the stakes are small. However, for
larger businesses, some challenging factors can begin to plague the integrity of the system.
Under the periodic system, transactions related to the acquisition of inventory are
recorded accordingly:
a. Purchases – a temporary account, used for merchandise purchased for resale. Its sole
purpose is to accumulate the total cost of merchandise purchased during an accounting period.
b. Purchase Returns and Allowances – a contra account and is deducted from purchases
in the income statement. Account used to record returns acknowledged or allowances granted
by the supplier.

QUIZ BOWLERS’ SOCIETY LECTURE NOTES
c. Purchase Discounts – is a contra account that is deducted from purchases in the income
statement. It is granted by the supplier to the buyer for paying within the discount period.
Remember that only cash discounts are recorded under this account, the trade discount is not
shown or recorded in both the buyer’s and seller’s book.
(1) Trade Discounts - a deduction from the list price or catalogue price granted to
buyers to encourage purchase of big quantities.
(2) Cash Discounts - a deduction from the selling price granted to buyers to
encourage prompt payment.
Example:
Under the periodic system, transactions related to sale of inventory are recorded accordingly:
a. Sales – the proceeds from the sales price of the goods sold. Only sales of merchandise
held for resale are recorded under this account.
b. Sales Return and Allowances – a contra-income account and deducted from gross
sales in income statement. Account used to record returns acknowledged or allowances
granted by the supplier to the buyer.
c. Sales Discounts - a contra-income account and deducted from gross sales in income
statements. It is granted by the seller to the buyer for paying within the discount period.
