SHORT ANSWER
98. What is the difference between a periodic and perpetual inventory system for merchandise inventory?
ANS:
The periodic inventory system requires the company to adjust the ending inventory balance at year end
after a physical count. The perpetual inventory system maintains continuous records of inventory in
the Merchandise Inventory account, which provides a current cost balance.
99. Assume the general ledger Accounts Receivable controlling account matches the balance of the
schedule of accounts receivable. Is it possible that errors could have occurred anyway? Explain how
this could have occurred or explain why it is impossible for this to have occurred.
ANS:
If the balance of the general ledger Accounts Receivable controlling account matches the balance of
the schedule of accounts receivable, it only means that the two are equal. Several errors could have
occurred. Amounts could have been posted to the incorrect accounts, thus causing an error in the
customer account that received the incorrect charge or credit for payment and an error in the account
that should have received the charge or credit for payment⎯two problems from one error. Arithmetic
errors and transpositions and slides that carry through to the controlling account, as well as to the
subsidiary ledger, can occur. A check or a sales invoice may simply fail to be recorded, causing an
error to the customer account balance, even though everything appears to be in balance.
