cost of merchandise that the company was able to sell during the year.
Beginning Inventory is the amount of inventory at the beginning of the
accounting period. This is also the amount of ending inventory from the previous
period. Net Cost of Purchases is equal to Purchases plus Freight- In. Net
Purchases is Purchases minus the contra purchases account (Purchase
discount and purchase returns). Purchases is an amount of goods bought during
the current accounting period. Contra Purchases is an account that is credited
being “contrary” to the normal balance of purchases account. Purchase
discount is account used to record early payments by the company to the
suppliers of merchandise. Purchase returns is account used to record
merchandise returned by the company to their suppliers. Freight In is an
account used to record transportation costs of merchandise purchased by the
company. This is called freight in because this is recorded when goods are
transported into the company. You have to add beginning inventory and net
cost of purchases for you to get the cost of goods available for sale. Ending
Inventory is the total cost of inventory unsold at the end of the accounting cycle.
Sales less cost of goods sold is Gross Profit
Fourth Part is General and Administrative Expenses. These expenses are not
directly related to the merchandising function of the company but are necessary
for the business to operate effectively. Fifth Part is Selling Expenses, these
expenses are those that are directly related to the main purpose of a merchandising
business: the sale and delivery of merchandise. These do not include cost of goods
sold and contra revenue accounts. Gross Profit less
general and administrative expenses and selling expenses will yield a net
income for a positive result while net Loss for a negative result.
