    Accounting for Merchandising Businesses

    • Merchandising businesses buy goods to resell to customers
    • These businesses sell tangible goods
    • They differ from service businesses in that they have inventory transactions (purchases and sales of merchandise)
    • The periodic inventory system updates the inventory account only at the end of a period
    • The perpetual inventory system updates the inventory account every time goods are bought or sold
    • A worksheet assists in preparing adjusting and closing entries and provides all information needed to prepare financial statements
    • Net sales= Gross sales - Sales Discounts - Sales Returns and Allowances
    • A trade discount is a percentage deduction from the listed price of merchandise
    • Cash discounts are deductions from invoice price to customers for early payment

    Recording Purchases

    • Purchases account records the cost of goods bought for resale to customers
    • Purchase discounts are a deduction from the original purchase price if payment is made within a specified period

    Recording Sales

    • When a merchandising company transfers goods to a buyer, revenue is generated
    • Sales revenue is recorded in a Sales account.
    • Net sales is the revenue amount after deducting sales discounts, sales returns and allowances

    Sales Discounts

    • Sales discounts are deductions from invoice price to customers that make early payments
    • This encourages early payments for seller

    • A sales allowance is a deduction from the price when merchandise is retained
    • These transactions are recorded in a contra purchase account

    Transportation Costs

    • Transportation costs increase the cost of merchandise

    • FOB destination: seller pays transportation costs
    • FOB shipping point: buyer pays transportation costs

    Bank Reconciliations

    • Bank statements and company records may differ due to outstanding checks, deposits in transit, and service charges
    • Important for accurate cash control

    Petty Cash

    • A designated employee is responsible for the fund
    • Reimbursed when the fund is low, with receipts attached
    • Recorded with debiting the appropriate accounts and creditting cash

    Cash Short and Over
