Document Summary

Identify the differences between service and merchandising companies. In a merchandising company, the primary source of revenues is the sale of merchandise, referred to as sales revenue or sales. Unlike expenses for a service company, expenses for a merchandising company are divided into two categories: Cost of goods sold - the total cost of merchandise sold during the period. Sales revenue less cost of goods sold is called gross profit. Operating expenses - expenses that are incurred in the process of earning sales revenues Gross profit less operating expenses is net earnings (or net loss). Detailed records of the cost of each inventory purchase and sale are maintained. Cost of goods sold is determined each time a sale occurs. Detailed records are not kept throughout the period. Cost of goods sold determined only at the end of the accounting period, when a physical inventory count is taken. Prepare analysis for purchases under a perpetual inventory system using the accounting equation.
