Document Summary

Sales are the result of the sale of merchandise. Cost of goods sold is the cost of merchandise sold during a period. Net income is then determined by subtracting operating expenses from gross profit.

Continuously shows the quantity and cost of inventory on hand, sold, or purchased. At the time of a sale, cogs and merchandise inventory are changed to reflect the sale along with the regular entry of cash/accounts receivable and sales. Amounts in the books should reflect what is physically on hand at all times. Physical inventory should still be done at least once a year.

Cost of goods sold = beginning inventory + cost of goods purchased(purchases) .
