are credited to Inventory.
LO 1
3.
Cost of goods sold is debited and Inventory is credited for each sale.

Inventory Cost Flow
Periodic System
1.
Purchases of merchandise are debited to Purchases.
2.
Ending Inventory determined by physical count.
3.
Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold:
Beginning inventory
$ 100,000
Purchases, net
+ 800,000
Goods available for sale
LO 1
900,000
Ending inventory
−125,000
Cost of goods sold
$775,000

Inventory Cost Flow
Comparing Perpetual and Periodic System
Illustration: Fesmire Company had the following transactions during the current year.
Beginning inventory
100 units at $6 = $600
Purchases
900 units at $6 = $5,400
Sales
600 units at $12 = $7,200
Ending inventory
400 units at $6 = $2,400
Record these transactions using the Perpetual and Periodic systems.

Inventory Cost Flow
Illustration
Assume that at the end of the reporting period, the perpetual inventory account reported an inventory
balance of $4,000. However, a physical count indicates inventory of $3,800 is actually on hand. The entry to
record the necessary write-down is as follows.
Inventory Over and Short
200
Inventory
200
Note: Inventory Over and Short adjusts Cost of Goods Sold.

$ 100,000
Cost of goods acquired or produced during the year
800,000
Total cost of goods available for sale
