Document Summary

Service companies perform services as their primary source of revenue. Merchandising companies buy and sell inventory: retailers sell to consumers, wholesalers sell to retailers, manufactures produce goods for sale. The time it takes to go from cash to cash in producing revenues. Longer for a merchandising company than for a service company: merchandise must first be purchased before it can be sold, adds an additional step to the cycle. Revenue: sales revenue (from the sale of the merchandise) - the main source. Expenses are divided into two categories: cost of goods sold: total cost of merchandise sold in a period, operating expenses: incurred in the process of earning sales revenue. Gross profit: sales revenue less cost of goods sold. Flow of costs for a merchandising company: beginning inventory + purchases = cost of goods available for sale, once sold, these costs are assigned to cost of goods sold, goods left over are ending inventory.
