Income Measurement
Cost of goods sold is the total cost of merchandise (the
inventory) sold during the period. Because we have goods for sale
the operating cycle is longer.
Not used in a Service business.

Flow of Costs
Companies use either a periodic inventory system or a perpetual inventory system to account for inventory. For example, a newspaper provides news periodically, CNN.com provides news perpetually!

This does not keep detailed records of the goods on hand. Cost of goods sold is determined by counting what’s left in
inventory at the end of the accounting period (the end of the month, quarter, or year).
See below for a calculation of a Cost of Goods Sold example:
Beginning inventory
$ 100,000Add: Purchases
800,000= Goods available for sale
900,000Less: Ending inventory
125,000= Cost of goods sold
$ 775,000

Flow of Costs – Periodic System
5-7
Merchandising OperationsMerchandising Operations
The perpetual system continuously maintains records of the cost of each inventory purchase and sale using computerized registers and scanning. Acquisitions are debited to inventory. When sold, the cost of the goods sold is debited and inventory is credited.
Advantage: Provides better control over accounting for inventories by: 1. continuously showing total inventory on hand, and 2. the company can determine the cost of goods sold for each sale.
Disadvantage: Requires additional work and cost to maintain inventory records.

Sauk is the buyer, purchasing goods from PW.PW is the seller and prepares a sales invoice for Sauk .
Sauk uses PW’s sales invoice as a purchase invoice to record the transaction. Note: this purchase is “on account”. Sauk will pay at a later date.

What if Sauk is dissatisfied because goods are damaged, of inferior quality, or do not meet specifications (wrong color, size, etc.)?
Purchase Returns and Allowances
Recording Purchases of MerchandiseRecording Purchases of Merchandise
Return goods for credit if the sale was made on credit, or
for a cash refund if the purchase was for cash.
Decide to keep the goods if the seller will grant an
allowance (deduction) from the purchase price.
Purchase Return Purchase Allowance
If Sauk returned goods costing $300 on May 8 the entry would be: May 8 Accounts payable - PW 300
Inventory 300
If Sauk was allowed to keep the goods and given an allowance the entry would be similar: Accounts Payable and Inventory would be
reduced by only the allowance amount (e.g., $50).

Credit terms permits buyers to take a cash discount for prompt payment. Advantages: the purchaser saves money and the seller shortens the operating cycle.
Purchase Discounts for Early Payment
Recording Purchases of MerchandiseRecording Purchases of Merchandise
Example 1: If the credit terms read 2/10, n/30.
A 2% discount is given if paid within 10 days, otherwise the net amount is due within 30 days.
Example 2: If the credit terms read 5/20, n/60.
A 5% discount is given if paid within 20 days, otherwise the net amount is due within 60 days.

(Purchase Discount = $3,500 x 2% = $70) (Cash Payment = $3,500 x 98% = $3,430)
May 14, Sauk pays the net amount of $3,500 (the original $3,800 less the return on May 8 of $300) within the discount period and takes the 2% discount, the J/E is:
If Sauk decided not to take the discount, and instead paid the full $3,500 on June 3 (remember net 30!), the J/E would be:
Accounts payable 3,500

Ownership of the goods passes to the buyer as soon as the public carrier accepts the goods from the seller.
Ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the goods reach the buyer.

Freight Costs - The FOB Terms determines who pays
From the Shipping Point to the Destination
FOB simply means Free on Board, a very old term still used today
5-13
The freight terms of FOB shipping point on the invoice required Sauk (the buyer) to pay the freight charges. Upon delivery of the goods on May 6, Sauk Stereo pays an independent trucking firm Haul-It Freight Company $150 for the freight charges. Freight charges cannot be discounted! The entry for Sauk is:
Inventory 150May 6Cash 150
Recording Purchases of MerchandiseRecording Purchases of Merchandise
If the freight terms were FOB Destination, then PW Audio (the seller) would pay the freight charges. The entry by PW Audio Supply would have been:
Freight-out Expense 150May 4 Cash 150
Freight costs incurred by the seller are an operating expense.

$3,800 - $2,400 = $1,400 called the gross profit on this sale - Slide 3.
GP / Sales = $1,400 / $3,800 = 36.8% called the gross profit rate!

PW records the original May 4 sale of $3,800 (slide 8) to Sauk on account (no cash was paid). Assume PW’s cost of the merchandise inventory sold to Sauk was $2,400 (the cost of the goods sold): 2 entries are needed!

The “Flipside” of Sauk’s purchase returns and allowances from slide 9.
SR&A is a Contra-revenue account (kept with a debit balance).
Sales are not debited (reduced) because:
► We want to know how many and why our Sales are being returned or why we are having to give allowances. Otherwise, this could distort comparisons between products, stores, or competitors.

The entry PW would make to record Sauk’s returned goods (slide 9) that had a $300 selling price and a $140 cost. Assume the goods were put back in inventory.

Note: If this was just a $50 allowance (no inventory was returned) you would only have one J/E:

In other words, with an allowance, no inventory is returned!

Sales discount 70
Assume Sauk pays the balance due of $3,500 less the 2% discount of $70 (slide 11). For Sauk the $70 is a reduction in the cost of the inventory. For PW the $70 is a reduction in the sale (a sales discount). PW records this receipt as:
(Sales Discount = $3,500 x 2% = $70)
(Cash Received = $3,500 x 98% = $3,430)
