Document Summary

Under periodic system, inventory and cogs is determined by physical count at the end of the period. Periodic system is cheap and simple to operate; however errors/shortages cannot be identified. Cogs = opening inventory + purchases closing inventories (which would be listed on the income statement) This system also consists of purchases and purchase returns and allowances accounts. Under this system, there are no cogs/inventory entries at time of sale and no inventory shortages entries. At opening (transfer) dr inventory (beginning) cr inventory. At closing (transfer) dr inventory cr inventory (closing, count) At purchase: dr purchase expense cr cash/accounts payable. At end of period: dr p&l sum. & inv (end) cr purchases & inv (beginning)* Note: *this is equivalent to debiting p&l summary and crediting cogs crediting. Cogs means crediting (opening inventory + purchases closing inventory) Under both methods, the p&l summary account and the inventory account will have the same balances.
