Document Summary

Purchases of merchandise inventory: two possible journal entries, depending on if you paid in cash or received credit terms: Early pay discounts: we record the 2% early pay discount by reducing the cost of the inventory. This follows the objectivity and historical cost principles, which require that inventory be recorded at the net cash equivalent cost. Purchase allowances and returns: just like early pay discounts, you cr merchandise inventory for the amount of the allowance or return, purchase discounts are applied on the remaining balance of the account payable after allowances and returns are deducted. Transportation in and out: the cost of inventory includes all costs to get the inventory available for sale to the customer. Fob shipping point: this is when the buyer agrees to pay all of the shipping costs, which are not included in the cost of the purchase, the buyer charges the shipping cost to the merchandise inventory account.
