4.1 What Are Merchandising Operations?<br />
The operating cycle of a merchandiser is as follows :<br />
1. It begins when the company purchases inventory<br />
from a vendor.<br />
2. The company then sells the inventory to a customer.<br />
3. Finally, the company collects cash from customers.<br />

4.1 What Are Merchandising Operations?<br />
Inventory Systems:<br />
There are two main types of inventory accounting<br />
systems:<br />
● Periodic system - the business<br />
physically counts its inventory periodically to<br />
determine the quantities on hand<br />
● Perpetual system - the number of inventory units<br />
and the dollar amounts are perpetually<br />
(constantly) updated.<br />

4.2 Accounting for Inventory in the<br />
Perpetual System<br />
Purchase of Inventory<br />
Suppose Smart Touch buys $35,000 of<br />
inventory, returns $700 of the goods, and<br />
takes a 2% early payment discount. Smart<br />
Touch also pays $2,100 of freight in. The<br />
following summary shows Smart Touch’s<br />
net cost of this inventory. All amounts are<br />
assumed for this illustration.<br />

from selling merchandise inventory.<br />

4.2 Accounting for Inventory in the<br />
Perpetual System<br />
Sale of Inventory<br />
A sales return: The customer may return goods to Smart<br />
Touch, asking for a refund or credit to the customer’s<br />
account.<br />
A sales allowance: Smart Touch may grant a sales<br />
allowance to entice the customer to accept non-standard<br />
goods. This allowance will reduce the future cash<br />
collected from the customer.<br />
A sales discount: If the customer pays within the<br />
discount period—under terms such as 2/10, n/30—Smart<br />
Touch collects the discounted amount.<br />
Freight out: Smart Touch may have to pay delivery<br />
expense to transport the<br />
goods to the buyer.<br />

4.3 Adjusting and Closing the Accounts of a<br />
Merchandiser<br />
A merchandiser adjusts and closes accounts the same<br />
way a service entity does. If a worksheet is used, the trial<br />
balance is entered, and the worksheet is completed to<br />
determine net income or net loss<br />

4.4 Preparing a Merchandiser’s Financial<br />
Statements<br />
Income Statement:<br />
The income statement begins with Sales,<br />
Cost of goods sold, and Gross profit. Then<br />
come the operating expenses, which are<br />
those expenses other than Cost of goods sold<br />

4.4 Preparing a Merchandiser’s Financial<br />
Statements<br />
Balance sheet:<br />
For a merchandiser, the balance sheet is the<br />
same as for a service business, except<br />
merchandisers have an additional current<br />
asset, Inventory. Service businesses have no<br />
inventory.<br />
