61 views7 pages

Document Summary

April 30, 2018: explain the similarities and differences between a perpetual versus a periodic inventory system (as described in the text, but also including additional research and review from at least one other source about the methods). Discuss which activities related to the purchase and sale of merchandise transact in both (how they differ and how they are the same). The periodic and perpetual inventory systems are different methods that are used to keep track of the number of goods on hand. The periodic inventory system offers a practical solution for recording inventory transactions. It is done by a physical count of the inventory to determine the ending inventory balance and the cost of goods sold. The periodic inventory system is often used in an environment that lacks technology. The inventory costs are recorded in a purchases account at the time of purchase while purchase returns and allowances and transportation-in are recorded in separate accounts.
