Document Summary

Learning objective 1: describe merchandising operations and inventory systems. Merchandising companies buy and sell merchandise rather than perform services as their primary source of revenue. Wholesalers merchandising companies that sell to retailers. Two categories of expenses: cost of goods sold. Definition: total cost of merchandise sold during the period: cost of operating expenses. Perpetual system: perpetual inventory system companies maintain detailed records of the cost of each inventory purchase and sale. Records should show the inventory that should be on hand for every item: better advantage because it provides better control over inventories, for example grocery stores scanning items when bought. Periodic system: periodic inventory system companies do not keep detailed inventory records of the goods on hand throughout the period. They determine the cost of goods sold only at the end of the accounting period. Determine cost of good at the beginning. Subtract the cost of goods on hand. Learning objective 2: record purchases under a perpetual inventory system.
