2.22, Perpetual Inventory System
‘This system of accounting for inventories involves strict tracking of the inflow and outflow
of the cost of inventories through the use of a stock card. Under this system, all transactions
pertaining to inventories are accounted for and journalized as charged to inventory account.
Basically, some special journals particularly purchase journal are not involved in this system,
In addition to this, what also make the perpetual inventory system different from periodic
inventory system is that when recording sale of inventories since a cost of sale is set up of
the cost of goods sold to customers.
Lastly, there is no need of setting up an adjusting journal entry for the ending inventories
since the cost of the ending inventories can be determined by strictly tracking the debits and
credits of the inventory account, or in effect, through the use of the stock card. Therefore,
physical count may not be necessary but is highly encouraged to allow matching of
recorded cast andl actual cost.

Companies usually employ accounting systems for inventories and the systems are applied
from the moment of purchase of the inventories up to the final consumption, or further resale
of those inventories.
‘There are two accounting systems for inventories, namely:
1. periodic inventory system; and
2. perpetual inventary system.
‘These two inventory accounting systems are acceptable in actual practice. However, for
problem-solving purposes, if the problem is silent, periodic inventory system is more
‘assumed.
3.2.1. Periodic Inventory System
‘This system is the one usually followed when handling and accounting for the transactions
involving inventories. Under this system, all transactions pertaining to inventories are
accounted for and journalized based on the nature of the transaction. Basically, special
journals, such as purchase journal and sales journal, are involved in this system. This system
is presumed and assumed, ifand when the problem to be solved is silent.
However, since there is no tracking of the cost of inventories due to the involved journal
entries, a physical count is being conducted every end of the reporting period to establish
the amount of remaining inventories.
