Merchandising Business
Overview An organi4ation that is engaged in the buying and selling of goods or
merchandise is a merchandising or trading concern. Merchandise refers togoods purchased for resale in the same form. Unli5e businesses renderingservices for compensation6 a trading concern derives its income through theresale at a profit of the merchandise purchased.
Activities The activities of a merchandising concern that distinguish it from a serviceconcern cover the following
• Purchasing. Information as to the 5ind6 7uality6 7uantity6 and cost of goods bought should be maintained for the use of management. ecords as tosupplies or merchandise bought are also maintained.
• Handling. The costs of transporting and sorting of goods bear an importantrelation to the prices of goods bought. These should be recorded properly.Transportation costs include freight6 e3press6 drayage6 and cartage.
• Returning Of Goods Purchased. #ome of the merchandise received may prove unsatisfactory and must be returned to the vendors6 or if not returned6may be allowed some deductions from the original purchase price.
• Selling. 8oods purchased are sold at prices above the cost in order to provide ade7uate margin of profit. It is therefore imperative that the cost ofgoods bought should be 5nown from the accounting records so thatdesirable selling prices may be set.
• Returning Of Goods Sold. The customers may return some of themerchandise sold. &eductions from the original selling prices must beallowed for sales returns. If the goods delivered are defective and no returnis made6 the customers are granted reduction on the sales price.
• aintaining Ade!uate Stocks On Hand. In order to satisfy orders ofcustomers at all times6 a stoc5 of merchandise must be maintained on hand.This is called Merchandise Inventory or Inventory on 9and

Inventory System
Overview A business firm selling a product must use an inventory record system to value
the merchandise on hand at the end of an accounting period. Two differentinventory systems may be used to record trading transactions in the accountingrecords. These systems are the periodic and perpetual inventory system.
Perpetual In a perpetual inventory system a continual6 or perpetual6 record of theinventory activity is maintained. :onse7uently6 any items that are sold orotherwise physically removed from inventory must be removed from theMerchandise Inventory account6 and items that are purchased are added to theMerchandise Inventory account. This may result in significant e3trarecord5eeping as compared to a periodic system. 9owever6 a perpetual
inventory system does have advantages6 and businesses with a relatively lownumber of high;value transactions often find the e3tra effort to be worthwhile.:omputers are also ma5ing it practical for businesses to use perpetual systemsthan would have been not feasible in the past.
Periodic orPh"sical
In the periodic inventory system6 the ending inventory is determined by a physical count of the merchandise on hand at the end of an accounting period.The periodic inventory system receives its name because the balance in theinventory account is 5nown only at the beginning and at the end of theaccounting period. The periodic inventory is the simpler system commonly
used in practice and was the only practical alternative for most businesses withlarge number of transactions before the advent of computers. The periodicinventory system will be used in the illustrations throughout this course unlessotherwise stated.

I#portance It is important to note that both periodic and perpetual inventory systems willrecord the sale of merchandise similarly. The only difference is that under the perpetual inventory system6 there is a second entry that is re7uired to berecorded together with the sale to indicate the transfer out of the amount soldfrom the Merchandise Inventory account to the :ost of 8oods #old account.It is possible to combine the two entries into a single compound entry with thesame debits and credits.

Pro&for#a entr" At the end of the year6 no further entries may be re7uired if the balance in the
inventory account e7uals the actual cost of the units on hand. Unfortunately6this seldom happens. &espite the e3tra effort necessary to maintain a perpetual record of the inventory6 the facts often differ from the records.*hen the facts conflict with the records6 the records must be corrected toreflect the facts. Therefore6 an adusting entry is necessary to record anymissing inventory items and reduce the balance in the Inventory account to thecorrect level. The pro;forma entry is
Merchandise Inventory #hort or >ver333Merchandise Inventory 333
To adust Inventory account to actual balance.
erchandiseInventor" Shortor Over
The Merchandise Inventory Short or Over account is an e3pense account thatreflects the cost of missing inventory items. 9owever6 depending on itsmateriality and on normal practice within the industry6 the inventory shrin5ageamount is often combined with cost of goods sold in the financial statements.
'et Inco#e The net income disclosed on the income statements prepared under the two
inventory systems will reflect the same amount. This is also true with theending inventory balance reported in the balance sheet. A business thatcombined its Merchandise Inventory #hrin5age account with its :ost of 8oods#old account would prepare an income statement identical to the one preparedunder the periodic inventory system.

Purchase of Merchandise
Overview *hen a firm sells goods or services6 it gives a sales slip or sales invoice to its
customers. This sales invoice becomes a purchase invoice as far as the purchasing business is concerned. The purchase invoice provides the obectiveinformation used to record purchasing transactions. In small business firms6the only written document received or handled in purchases of goods orservices is this invoice. "or such businesses6 authori4ation for purchases isgiven informally by telephone or by having an employee personally purchasegoods or services. In this part6 we would be dealing with transactions affectingthe firm)s ac7uisition of the merchandise for sale. As we have mentionedearlier6 all our business transactions must be properly supported by businessdocuments.
PurchaseRe!uisition
=arge companies rely on a more careful procedure. As a first step they mayinsist that the person or department needing the goods or services to be purchased fill out a form called a purchase requisition. This completed form6 bearing the signature of some responsible person authori4ed to approve suchre7uisitions6 is ne3t sent to the purchasing agent or purchasing department ofthe company.
Purchase Order The purchasing department6 after selecting the firm from whom the goods or
services are to be bought6 prepares a second business paper called a purchase
order . The original copy of this document is sent to the company from whichthe purchase is to be made. This copy gives the selling business authority tosend the purchaser the goods or services ordered.
PurchaseInvoice
About the same time that shipment of the goods is made or services aresupplied to the purchaser6 the purchaser is sent an invoice that is the third business paper. This purchase invoice becomes the basis for recording the purchase in the ournal ust as it is in the case of the informal proceduredescribed for small firms.

Purchases The cycle of a merchandising entity begins with cash6 which is used to
purchase inventory. Purchases6 in the accounting sense6 are only those itemsof merchandise inventory that a firm buys to resell to customers in the normalcourse of business. "or e3ample6 a boo5store records in the purchasesaccount the price it pays for boo5s6 school and office supplies6 and other itemsof inventory ac7uired for resale. A grocery store debits purchases when it buys canned goods6 meat6 fro4en food and other inventory.

Saes
Overview The sale of merchandise may be for cash or on account. An invoice supports
every sale. The seller)s sales invoice is the buyer)s purchase invoice. *hen asale is for cash6 the seller receives money in return for his merchandise. *henthe sale is made on credit6 the seller ac7uires a receivable or right to collectfrom the buyer.
The preceding discussion on methods of recording merchandise inventorytransactions stated that under the periodic inventory method6 purchasesrepresent the cost of merchandise bought. 'ales6 on the other hand6 representthe selling price of merchandise previously bought and then sold. In theincome statement H#ee sample on page $ of "6 #ales is shown as an incomeitem from which the cost of goods sold Hconsisting of merchandise inventory beginning and end and net cost of purchases6 was deducted6 the difference
being the gross profit. Therefore6 sales represents income6 which covers boththe cost of merchandise6 sold and gross profit Hor gross loss. In the followingdiscussions6 it was assumed that merchandise is sold normally at a profit6 i.e.6the selling price of the merchandise sold is greater than its cost.
It is very important to note that a purchase and sales transaction involve two partiesJ namely6 the buyer and the seller. "urthermore6 a business actssometimes as a buyer and sometimes a seller.
The analysis of a purchase and sale transaction would depend on whether the business for which the accounting wor5 is being done6 is playing the role of a buyer or that of a seller. The treatment therefore6 for cash discount andreturns and allowances on this part will also be similar to that discussed under purchases6 only this time the account titles to be used would be 'ales discountand 'ales returns and allowances.
