CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Identify the differences between service and merchandising companies. Because of
inventory, a merchandising company has sales revenue, cost of goods sold, and gross profit.
To account for inventory, a merchandising company must choose between a perpetual and a
periodic inventory system.
2. Explain the recording of purchases under a perpetual inventory system. The company
debits the Inventory account for all purchases of merchandise, and freight-in, and credits it for
purchase discounts and purchase returns and allowances.
3. Explain the recording of sales revenues under a perpetual inventory system. When a
merchandising company sells inventory, it debits Accounts Receivable (or Cash) and credits
Sales Revenue for the selling price of the merchandise. At the same time, it debits Cost of
Goods Sold and credits Inventory for the cost of the inventory items sold. Sales returns and
allowances and sales discounts are debited and are contra revenue accounts.
4. Explain the steps in the accounting cycle for a merchandising company. Each of the
required steps in the accounting cycle for a service company applies to a merchandising
company. A worksheet is again an optional step. Under a perpetual inventory system, the
company must adjust the Inventory account to agree with the physical count.
5. Distinguish between a multiple-step and a single-step income statement. A multiple-step
income statement shows numerous steps in determining net income, including nonoperating
activities sections. A single-step income statement classifies all data under two categories,
revenues or expenses, and determines net income in one step.
a6. Prepare a worksheet for a merchandising company. The steps in preparing a worksheet
for a merchandising company are the same as for a service company. The unique accounts
for a merchandiser are Inventory, Sales Revenue, Sales Returns and Allowances, Sales
Discounts, and Cost of Goods Sold.
a7. Explain the recording of purchases and sales of inventory under a periodic inventory
system. In recording purchases under a periodic system, companies must make entries for
(a) cash and credit purchases, (b) purchase returns and allowances, (c) purchase discounts,
and (d) freight costs. In recording sales, companies must make entries for (a) cash and credit
sales, (b) sales returns and allowances, and (c) sales discounts.

S-A E 244 (Ethics)
Holmes Corporation manufactures electronic components for use in many consumer products.
Their raw materials are purchased literally from all over the world. Depending on the country
involved, purchase terms vary widely. Some suppliers, for example, require full prepayment, while
others are content to receive payment within six months of receipt of the goods.
Because of this situation, Holmes never closes its books until at least ten days after month end.
In this way, it can sort out ownership of goods in transit, and document which goods were
received by month end, and which were not.
Manya Andre, a new accountant, was asked to record about $70,000 in inventory as having been
received before month end. She argued that the shipping documents clearly showed that the
goods were actually received on the 8th of the current month. Her boss, busy with month-end
reports, curtly tells Ann to check the shipping terms. She did so, and found the notation "FOB
shipper's dock" on the document. She hadn't seen that particular notation before, but she
reasoned that if the selling company considered it shipped when it reached their dock, Holmes
should consider it received when it reached Holmes's dock. She did not record the purchase until
after month end.

S-A E 245 (Communication)
Ellen Corhy and Bryn Davis, two salespersons in adjoining territories, regularly compete for
bonuses. During the last month, their dollar volume of sales, on which the bonuses are based,
was nearly equal. On the last day of the month, both made a large sale. Both orders were
shipped on the last day of the month and both were received by the customer on the fifth of the
following month. Ellen's sale was FOB shipping point, and Bryn's was FOB destination. The
company "counts" sales for purposes of calculating bonuses on the date that ownership passes
to the purchaser. Ellen’s sale was therefore counted in her monthly total of sales, Bryn’s was not.
Bryn is quite upset. She has asked you to just include it, or to take Ellen's off as well. She also
has told you that you are being unethical for allowing Ellen to get a bonus just for choosing a
particular shipping method.
Write a memo to Bryn. Explain your position.
