ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE
The merchandising entity (or in layman’s term buy and sell) buys goods and the goods are sold in the same
form. So, from cash the entity the buy goods, then sell the goods then back to cash-this cycle continues
during the lifetime of the business. For cash sales, the cycle is from cash to inventory and back to cash.

Cash
Purchases
Cash sales

Inventory

For sales on account, the cycle is from cash to inventory to accounts receivable and back to cash. The
shorter the cycle the better is the business operations. The faster the sale of merchandise and the
collection of cash, the more profits the entity generates. The term use in accounting to describe
movement of merchandise/inventory is called inventory turn-over.

The graphical presentation shows the operating cycle of a merchandising concern. Cash Sales has shorter
operating cycle compared with sales on account or on credit.

How to compute cash discounts?


When the term of the sale is express in this manner “ 2/10, n/30” this means that the credit period is 30
days. If the customer/buyer will pay the account within 10 days a 2% discount is granted.

Example. On March 1, 2020 L Enterprise sold merchandise to M company for P20,000 terms 2/10, n/30.

If the customer M will pay within March 10, say March 8, an amount equal to 2% of P20,000 or P400 shall
be given as a discount, therefore customer M will only pay P19,600 to the vendor.

This is very clear that cash discounts can only be availed to sales on credit. Cash sales has no cash discounts
because it is already paid in cash. Then what do you call discounts availed on cash sales, it is trade discount
which is discuss in the next topic.

How to compute trade discounts?


A trade discount is granted to encourage customer to buy more and sometimes this is a strategy of the
company to attract more customers. There are company who sells their product thru the use of catalog.
It is very costly to print new catalogs every time they change their selling price, so instead they give trade
discount. In accounting trade discount is not recorded only cash discount.

When the sale of goods has a trade discount, may it be sales in cash or on credit, then you have to compute
the invoice price to determine how much amount of sales to be recorded, and how much shall the vendor
collects from the customer. Any merchandise returned by the customer, if stated at list price should be
converted to invoice price in making the adjustment.

Example 1: On March 10, 2020, ABC company sold merchandise to X company in cash for P100,000, terms:
less 5% COD (Cash on Delivery). The selling price of P100,000 is a list price because it is subject to trade
discount. First to convert list price into invoice price. Compute the invoice price.

Invoice Price = P100,000 less 5% discount or PP95,000 this is the amount to be recorded as sales for ABC
company, and if X company is another trader, the cost of merchandise purchased by X company will also
be P95,000. The P5,000 trade discount is not recorded.

Example 2: On March 11, 2020 ABC Company sold merchandise to Y Company on credit for P120,000,
terms : less 10%; 2/10, n/30. In this case there are two discounts granted to the customer Y. The 10%
trade discount and 2% cash discount. Determine the invoice price.

Invoice price = P120,000 less 10% discount or P108,000, this is the amount to be recorded as sales for
ABC company. If Y company will pay the account on or before March 21, 2020 a cash discount of 2% based

on the invoice price shall be given to the customer therefore, Y company will only pay ABC company
P105,840 (P108,000 – (.02 x P108,000) ), otherwise beyond this date Y shall pay the full amount of
P108,000.

Example 3. On March 15, 2020 ABC sold merchandise to Z company for P 200,000 terms: less 10%; 5%;
2/10, n/45. This is called series of trade discount. How much is the invoice price?

Invoice Price = P200,000 less 10% or P180,000 less 5% then invoice Price is P171,000.
If Z will pay on or before March 25, 2020, then a cash discount of 2% based on the invoice price of P171,000
is granted therefore the amount of money to collected from Z company is P171,000 less 2% discount or
P167,580.

In other words trade discount can be availed by customers who buy on credit or in cash.

TRANSPORTATION COST
Accounting for transportation cost is very important because in buy and sell business transportation cost
may form part of the cost of merchandise sold or purchased. An accountant cannot just merely record the
transportation cost as delivery expense, or freight out or freight in if the terms of the transaction does not
say so.

Merchandise is shipped either thru trucking, shipping or airline. A freight bill is prepared by a common
carrier in accordance with the instructions of the party making the shipping arrangements. When the
arrangement is FOB destination, the seller owns the goods in transit, thereby it is the responsibility of the
seller to pay the freight charges. When the arrangement is FOD shipping point, the buyer owns the goods
in transit thereby it is the responsibility of the buyer to pay the freight charges.

However, the responsibility is different from who actually pays the freight. If the arrangement is freight
collect, then the freight is paid by the party who received the goods, while if the arrangement is freight
prepaid, then the freight is paid by the party who shipped the goods. So confusion arise when you are
going to combine the responsibility and the party who actually pays the freight. The matrix below
summarizes the relationship of the these arrangements.

Remember that FOB destination and FOB shipping point tells us who is responsible or will shoulder the
freight cost. But as to who actually pays the freight that is answered thru an arrangement whether its
freight prepaid or freight collect. In number 1 and 2, there is no accounting problem because the party
will just record it either a freight out or freight in. Number 3 and 4 is where a little confusion arises. If the
buyer pays the freight that should be shouldered by the seller then an entry seeking reimbursement from
the seller is made, while the seller shall record that reimbursement as “freight out”. On the other hand,
when the seller seek reimbursement from the buyer, then an entry seeking reimbursement from the
buyer is made, while the buyer shall record that reimbursement as “freight in. “ Freight in account form
part or added to the determination of the cost of goods sold, while freight out is an operating expenses.

INVENTORY SYSTEMS
One distinct characteristic of a trading concern which cannot be found in a service concern is the presence
of cost of sales. In the determination of cost of sales Merchandise Inventory data is needed. There are
two systems of accounting for merchandise inventory, the periodic inventory system and the perpetual
inventory system.

Periodic Inventory System – is used by business that sell high in volume and low-priced items such as
grocery items, apparels, clothing, medicines, and many more. However, businesses of this type who are
using computerized system use perpetual though they sell high in volume and low-priced items. Under
this system, no entries are made to the inventory account as the merchandise is bought and sold. Instead,
a separate set of accounts like purchases, purchase discounts, purchase returns and allowances and
freight in, is used to accumulate information on the net cost of purchases. At the end of the period a
physical count is made to determine the merchandise inventory.

Perpetual Inventory System – is used by businesses that sell low-volume but high-priced goods such as
motor vehicle, jewelry, appliances, computers, furniture and other related goods. However, with the
advent of technology businesses who are using computerized system use perpetual inventory system

even if they sell high volume, low-priced items. Such as supermarkets and department stores using point-
of-sale scanners.
Under this system, the inventory is updated every time there is a sale and purchase of goods. At the time
of sale, the cost is computed and recorded by a debit to cost of sales account and a credit to the inventory
account. Journal entries to recognized the inventory and the cost of sales accounts are made throughout
the accounting period. At the end of the period a physical count of merchandise inventory is made to
reconcile the actual count with what is in the record.

Sales Discount and Sales Returns and Allowance – these are contra income accounts that are deducted
from gross sales to determine the net sales.

Purchase Discounts and Purchase Returns and Allowance – these are contra cost accounts that are
deducted from the gross purchases to determine the net purchases.

1. ABC Enterprise is a grocery store that sells high volume but relatively low-priced items. The entity has
a computerized system (point-of-sale scanner) to account efficiently all items sold. The accountant
decided to use the periodic inventory system because the entity sells high volume and low-priced
items, anyway at the end of the period a physical count of goods has to be made to establish the unsold
items (merchandise inventory end). Do you agree with the accountant? If Yes why, if No support your
answer.

How to record revenue and collection cycle transactions?


These group of transactions refer to sales transactions, collection and returned of MDSE or price
adjustments. Therefore, we are making the entries from the seller’s perspective.

Since the term has a trade discount, convert the list price of P100,000 into an invoice price
(P100,000 minus (P100,000 x .05))= P95,000. Always remember that trade discount is not recorded.

MDSE VS. NON-MDSE


The above entries is only applicable if the items bought are merchandise (items that are intended for
resale). The entries would be different if the items bought are non-mdse.
ASSUME:

Illustration 1: On February 10, 2020, the company purchased a computer for office use in cash
amounting to P30,000.
Entry:
Office Equipment P30,000
Cash P30,000
Bought office equipment in cash
Explanation: “Purchases” account title is not being used because the item bought is a non-mdse.

Illustration 2: On February 11, 2020, the company purchased a delivery equipment on credit from Soul
company for P400,000 terms: less: 5% 2/10, n/30. FOB shipping point. The buyer paid the freight
amounting to P10,000. An allowance was granted for a slightly damaged equipment with a list price of

Delivery Equipment P10,000


Cash P10,000
Payment of charges

Explanation: Instead of debiting freight in, the account use is Delivery Equipment because the freight paid
does not pertain to freight of MDSE but of a non-mdse.

Accounts Payable P 4,750 (5,000 x .95)


Delivery Equipment P4,750
Allowance granted for the slight damage equipment.

Explanation: Instead of crediting “Purchase Return and Allowances”, it is credited to Delivery Equipment
because this is a non-mdse. Take note that the trade discount is not recorded.

Account Payable P 375,250


Delivery Equipment 7,505
Cash 367, 745
Full payment of account

Explanation: The balance of accounts payable is (P380,000 – 4,750= 375,250). From this amount you are
going to deduct the 2% cash discount (375,250 – (.02 x 375,250)). Instead of crediting purchase discount,
the credit is delivery equipment because this is the cash discount of anon-mdse.

HOW TO RECORD THE PAYROLL?


When an entity record the salaries of employees, the amount of salaries shall equal to the amount of
salaries that an employee is entitled to. Any statutory deductions such as SSS, Philhealth, Pag-ibig and
withholding taxes shall be recorded as a liability and later shall be remitted to the agencies together with
the employer’s share. If an employee has cash advances with the employer and is being paid thru salary
deductions the same is recorded as a decrease of cash advances (which is credited).

ILLUSTRATION

BIG PICTURE IN FOCUS: SLO (L) Prepare worksheet, and financial statements of a merchandising concern.

METALANGUAGE

Accountants usually use worksheet for easy transfer of data from the adjusted trial balance to the financial
statements. The previous lesson in worksheet preparation pertain to business engage in providing
services. In a merchandising concern there is a little difference in the presentation of some accounts
because of the presence of some accounts which is peculiar to merchandising concern. You need to
possess full understanding of the terms for you to demonstrate SLO(L). These terms were already
discussed in your previous lesson, but nevertheless this just a review of those terms.

1. Worksheet – is a working paper that summarizes the data from the General Ledgers to facilitate
the preparation of financial statements. This document is prepared when the accountant is now
ready to make some adjustments of the figures that appears in the unadjusted trial balance.
Actually adjusting entries and worksheet are prepared simultaneously. For companies with few
accounts it is possible to prepare financial statement directly from the adjusted trial balance.
2. Unadjusted Trial balance – this is the summary of the recorded data from the journal. The
purpose of this document is to prove the equality of debits and credits prior to the next step of
the accounting process. This document will help the accountant identify those accounts that
requires adjustments.
3. Adjusted trial balance- this a trial balance prepared after posting/plotting the adjusting journal
entries on the worksheet. This will also serve as a go signal to the bookkeeper to record the
adjusting entries in the general journal and post to GL. The purpose of determining the adjusted
balance is to facilitate easy transfer of data to the FS. Therefore, the balances of the adjusted trial
balance should be reconciled with the updated GL.
4. Footing – in accounting footing means to add vertically, cross-footing means to add or deduct
horizontally.
5. Real Accounts (Permanent Accounts)- refers to Assets, Liabilities and Equity accounts, balances
of which is normally carried forward in the next accounting period.
6. Nominal or (Temporary Accounts) – refers to the Revenue and Expenses accounts which is
normally close at the end of the accounting period.

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE
HOW TO SET-UP MERCHANDISE INVENTORY END?
In merchandising concern, one peculiar account is the presence of merchandise inventory. Merchandise
inventory represents the unsold items at the end of the period and it is determine through physical count
if the company uses periodic system. The unique feature of this account is, it has two classification it can
be an asset or an expense (part of the cost of sales). It is considered an asset if it is MDSE Inventory end

26

Phone No.: (082)300-5456 Local 137

while it is an expense it is MDSE inventory beginning. You might get confused why such account has to
classification, always remember if it is ending inventory, asset, if it is beginning inventory an expense. The
ending inventory of the current year (asset) will automatically becomes the beginning inventory of the
succeeding year (expense). It is important that as a bookkeeper you have to be consistent as to when you
are going to set-up the inventory, is it during adjustment or during closing entry. Both methods are correct
but you have to choose one and consistently use it to avoid duplication.

The entry to set-up MDSE inventory is very simple:


MDSE Inventory (End) …. . . . P xxx
Income and Expense Summary P xxx.

The above entry can be recorded as part of the adjusting entries (Adjusting method) or part of the closing
entry (Closing entry method). Either of the two is correct but do not use both because it is already
duplication.

Income and Expense Summary Account is a temporary account which will be closed at the end of the
period.

HOW TO PREPARE A WORKSHEET?


Preparation of worksheet is the step 5 of the accounting cycle. There are 5 steps in the preparation of
worksheet. Use 10-columns worksheet.

Important Reminder: Label first the worksheet: put heading either at the upper center or upper left
corner of the worksheet. The heading shall contain the (a) name of the company or owner; (b) name of
the document (worksheet); (c) date. You will also put label on the 10 columns; first 2 columns
“unadjusted trial balance Dr. and Cr. ”; next 2 columns “adjustments Dr. and Cr.”; next 2 columns
“adjusted trial balance Dr. and Cr.”: next 2 columns “Income Statement” Dr. and Cr.; and the last 2
columns “Balance Sheet or SFP” Dr. and Cr. Below is a sample for your reference

Illustration:

Step 1. On the first 2 columns enter the account balances extracted from the general ledgers (Unadjusted
trial Balance). Arrange the account in the same manner they are arranged in the GL (Assets, Liabilities,
Equity, Withdrawals, Revenue and Expense). Foot the unadjusted trial balance to check if the totals are
equal. See sample below.

27

Observe that the unadjusted trial balance above has “MDSE Inventory” Account that is the MDSE Inventory
beginning of 2018 which is the ending of the previous year (2017) (If periodic system is used)

Step 2. On the next 2 columns (3 and 4 cols.” Adjustments”) enter the adjusting entries and foot the debits
and credits to determine if the totals are equal. For each adjusting entries a letter is used to identify the
debit entry and the corresponding credit entry (this is called referencing for easy traceability). Note the
adjustments are not entered yet in the journal until after the worksheet is completed. This is to ensure
that no adjustments are overlook.

Note: Encircled letters are used for referencing

Step 3. Compute the adjusted balance of each account by adding or deducting the account balances from
the unadjusted trial balance. Enter the adjusted amounts in the “adjusted trial balance” columns

29
College of Accounting Education
3F, Business & Engineering Building
Matina, Davao City
Phone No.: (082)300-5456 Local 137

In computing the adjusted balance, for each adjustment you are going to cross-foot the figures. In the
above example (a) prepaid insurance has a debit balance of P54,000, in the adjustment column it has a
credit entry of P18,000 therefore the balance is P36,000 (P54,000-18,000) placed on the debit side of the
adjusted trial balance column because the debit (54,000) is greater than the credit (P18,000), so the
balance is a debit balance of P36,000. The same computation you are going to make in “Office Supplies”.

What happen if the unadjusted trial balance the account is credited and the adjustment is also credited ?
This is illustrated below.

In the illustration, accumulated Office Equipment is a credit balance with a credit adjustment. These two
figures if combine shall generate a credit balance of P75,000 (P50,000 + P25,000). This amount shall be
placed on the credit side of the adjusted trial balance.

To summarize: a.)Debit + Debit, = balance debit;

b.) Debit – Credit=balance it depends ( if Debit is greater than credit) debit balance

(If Credit is greater than debit) credit balance.

c. ) Credit + Credit = balance credit

You are going to copy in the adjusted columns all other accounts that were not affected by the adjustment
then foot the adjusted trial balance to check whether the total of the debits and credits are equal. Below
is the complete illustration.

The method use here in setting up of MDSE inventory is closing entry method, therefore no entry is made
in the adjustment column because the set-up is part of the closing entry. Also please note that the
beginning inventory of P627,000 is the amount forwarded in the adjusted trial balance.

Step 4 From the adjusted trial balance extend to the balance sheet columns all real accounts (Assets,
liabilities, Equity) and to the income statement columns all nominal accounts (Revenue and Expenses).
Withdrawal is extended to the Balance Sheet column.

Step 5 Compute profit or loss. The difference between total Revenues and Total Expenses in the income
statement represents the performance of the business. If the revenue total (Credit side of the income
statement column) is greater than the total expenses (debit side of the income statement column)the
result is a net profit, net loss if total expenses is greater than the total revenue. Enter profit or loss as a
balancing amount in the income statement and in the balance sheet, and compute the final column totals.
THE COMPLETE WORKSHEET IS ILLUSTRATED BELOW

Observed the presentation of inventory end of P532,000 using the closing entry method. It is not presented
in the adjustment column because the author decided to use the closing entry method which means the
setting up of inventory is done in the closing entry not during adjustment

FROM THE COMPLETED WORKSHEET, WE ARE NOW READY TO PREPARE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(INCOME STATEMENT AND STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION)

There are two forms of income statement, the single-step form for the service concern and the multiple-
step form for the merchandising or trading concern. The statement of financial position has also two

32
College of Accounting Education
3F, Business & Engineering Building
Matina, Davao City
Phone No.: (082)300-5456 Local 137

forms, the report form and the account form. The most popular form used by preparer is the report form
(which can be presented in comparative or non-comparative form).

The appropriate form of income statement for merchandising concern is the multiple-step.

Requisites of a good form financial statements:

a. There must be a heading


b. For income statement, operating expenses must be presented separately from interest expense to
determine the operating income. In merchandising concern expenses are categorized into two
groups, the cost of sales (cost of goods sold) and the operating expenses.
c. Computation of operating Income is important because it will tell the users, how efficient is the
company in generating income from its operations.
d. In the statement of financial position, you have to categorize assets as to Current Assets from Non-
current Assets; Liabilities as to Current Liabilities from Non-Current Liabilities. This is important
for the users to evaluate the financial condition of the business as to liquidity, solvency and
profitability.

ILLUSTRATION OF “STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION “

In the illustration please observe the correct format. You can easily identify the amount of current assets
which is P697,000, total amount of non-current assets which is P295,000 and the total assets of P992,000.
Current assets data is very important in determining the liquidity of the company, if the company can pay
its obligation as it becomes due and demandable.

In the liability section the amount of current liability is P67,000, no non-current liability, and capital
balance end of the owner is P925,000 sum it up, then total liabilities and owner’s equity is P992,000 which
corresponds to the total assets. Remember the basic accounting equation.

If we are going to determine how liquid is the company, you divide total current assets with total current
liability, in this case (P667,000/P67,000) = 10.40 which means for every P1 of liability there is P10.40
current assets available for payment, in other words the company is very liquid. But another thing you are
going to consider in judging whether the company can pay its obligation or not is to examine the
composition of the current assets. This will be further discussed in your financial management subject.

goods which is the correct matching of revenue and cost (expense). Please note the placement of MDSE
inventory beg. (P627,000) which is added to the net purchases to get the total amount of goods available
for sale (TGAS). From the TGAS mdse inventory end is deducted to arrive at the amount of cost of sales.

METALANGUAGE

In this section, the most essential terms encountered in the completion of accounting cycle and to
demonstrate SLO (m) will be operationally defined to establish a common frame of reference as how
these terms are used in the accounting process.

Please proceed immediately to the “Essential Knowledge” because the terms will also be discussed in that
section.

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE

After the preparation of financial statements some of the accounts, (temporary in nature) has to be closed
at the end of the accounting period. Only those permanent accounts (real) are forwarded to the next
accounting period and another cycle of recording, classifying and summarizing has to be performed. That’s
why it is called cycle because of its repetition characteristics.

Closing Entries

Income, and Expenses are temporary accounts that facilitate the preparation of income statement for a
given accounting period. After the preparation of income statement at the end of each year, all accounts
that appear in the income statement are closed and the difference between revenue and expense (net
profit or loss) is transferred to the capital account. In other words, the capital may increase or decrease
depending on the result or performance of the entity. The process of transfer is called closing procedure
(This is step 7 in the accounting cycle). There is a need to prepare closing entries so that those temporary
accounts will be closed at the end of the period. Another temporary accounts that is close to capital is the
withdrawals made by the owner. This account always decreases the capital account.

Closing Entries for merchandising is similar to service concern with the exception of cost of sales
accounts which are not present in the service concern.

How do you close the temporary or nominal accounts?

1. Debit all nominal accounts with normal credit balance. (All revenues have normal credit balance
therefore this account should be debited in closing entries.) The contra-revenue accounts have
normal debit balance therefore it is credited in closing entries.
Ex. Sales . . . . . . . . . P2,675,000
Sales Returns and Allowance 26,000
Sales Discount 23,000
Income Summary . . . . . . . . . . . .. 2,626,000

To close revenues

2. Credit all nominal accounts with normal debit balance. (All expenses have normal debit balance
therefore this account should be credited in closing entries.) The contra-cost accounts have credit
normal balance therefore, these are to be debited in closing entries. You may separate the closing
of cost accounts from the operating expenses. You remember the merchandise inventory set-up?
Cha Novelty Store chooses the closing entry method in setting up MDSE inventory end of
P532,000.

3. Close the income summary account to capital. The balance of the income summary account is a
credit balance of P (credits P2,626,000 +P532,000). – (debits P2,144,000 + 519,000).
Income Summary . . . . . . . . P495,000
Cha capital . . . . . . . . . P 495,000
To close income summary to capital

4. Close the withdrawals to capital account


Cha capital. . . . . . . P87,000
cha drawing . . . . P87,000
To close withdrawals to capital

Record the Closing Entries in the General journal, then post to their respective General Ledger. After
posting you will notice that the account is already close because the total debit is now equal to the total
credit. The income summary account is also close because this is a temporary account.

Post-closing Trial Balance (8th step of the accounting cycle) see sample below

To ensure that all closing entries are properly posted and all balances of the real accounts are correct for
easy transfer to the next accounting period a post-closing trial balance is necessary.

This trial balance contains only balance sheet or permanent accounts such as Assets, Liabilities and ending
Capital balance.

Why do we have to prepare post-closing trial balance?

a. To prove the equality of debits and credits, and to ensure that the amounts forwarded to the next
accounting period are accurate.
b. For easy transfer and traceability of the accounts.

Below is the sample of Post-closing trial balance.

Reversing Entries (RE) (9th step of the accounting cycle)

Reversing Entry (RE)– is a journal entry which is the exact opposite of a related adjusting entry made at
the end of the accounting period This is a technique in bookkeeping to simplify the recording of regular
transactions in the next accounting period. RE is normally prepared at the beginning of the next
accounting period. Therefore, this is the first entry that should appear in the general journal.

What adjusting entries are subject to reversing entries?

a. All accruals (Income and Expense) are to be reversed.


b. Deferrals of Income – if the AJE recognize liability
c. Deferral of Expense – if the AJE recognize the asset

P35,000; and sales discount of P15,000; prepare the closing entry.

2. Assume further that the inventory beginning of CBG merchandising is P 120,000; inventory end is
P230,000; total purchases is P P1,870,000; purchase return and allowances P20,000; and purchase
discount of P25,000. Prepare the closing entry.

3. Assume that the total operating expenses is P550,000, how much is the balance of income
summary account.

4. Close the income summary account to capital.

5. CBG withdrawal is P60,000, prepare closing entry to close the withdrawal.

IN A NUTSHELL

Activity 38. Knowing the sequential step of the accounting cycle is not enough. But the most important
part is how this knowledge can be used to analyze an account and develop a more comprehensive
understanding of the process. For example a capital account ledger. Capital is a permanent account and
this is used throughout the year because it explains the movement (in and out) of the capital or equity of
the owner.

What do the figures in the account represent?

The P120,000 dated 1.1.19 represents the beginning balance of the capital of the owner.
The 30,000 dated 3.31.19 represents the additional capital invested by the owner.
The P80,000 dated 12.31.19 represents a closing entry to close the net profit earned by the entity to
capital account
The 50,000 (debit side) dtd. 12.31.19 represents and entry in the closing entry which is to close
withdrawals made by the owner
Therefore, the ending balance of the capital account is P180,000 credit balance.
