Document Summary

Called merchandising companies because they buy and sell merchandise rather than perform services as their primary source of revenue. Merchandising companies that purchase and sell directly to consumers are called retailers. Merchandising companies that sell to retailers are known as wholesalers. The primary source of revenue for merchandising companies is the sale of merchandise, often referred to simply as sales revenue or sales. A merchandising company has 2 categories of expenses: cost of goods sold and operating expenses. Cost of goods sold is the total cost of merchandise sold during the period. The operating cycle of a merchandising company ordinarily is longer than that of a service company. Each purchase should be supported by a purchase invoice, which indicated the total purchase price and other relevant info. Freight costs: the sales agreement should indicate who is to pay for transporting goods.
