the interest paid on the amount borrowed (P950). Thus the entity was P550
better off as a result of its decision.
Test Material 11-2
a. The operating cycle of a merchandising company consists of purchasing
merchandise, selling that merchandise to customers (often on account), and
collecting the sales proceeds from these customers. In the process, the
business converts cash into inventory, the inventory into accounts receivable,
and the accounts receivable into cash.

The debits and credits to the Inventory account should be posted to the
appropriate accounts in the inventory subsidiary ledger. The information
posted would be the costs and quantities of the types of merchandise
purchased or sold. The account payable to Hun also should be posted to the
Hun account in K-Star’s accounts payable ledger. No postings are required
to the accounts receivable ledger, as this was a cash sale. If K-Star
maintains more than one bank account, however, the debit to cash should be
posted to the proper account in the cash subsidiary ledger.
d. P426,000 (P440,000 beginning balance, less P112,000, plus, P98,000)

g. K-Star should use a perpetual inventory system. The items in its inventory
have a high per-unit cost. Therefore, management will want to know the
costs of the individual products included in specific sales transactions and
will want to keep track of the items in the stock. Although the company has a
manual accounting system, its volume of sales transactions is low enough
that maintaining a perpetual inventory record will not be difficult.
