Merchandise Purchases

On November 2, Z-Mart purchased $1,200 of merchandise inventory for cash.

Purchase Discounts

On November 2, Z-Mart purchased $1,200 of merchandise inventory on account,

credit terms are 2/10, n/30.

Purchase Discounts

On November 12, Z-Mart paid the amount due on the purchase of November 2.

Purchase Discounts

Since payment was made within the discount period, a $24 discount ($1,200 x 2%) is taken.

Purchase Discounts

After we post these entries, the accounts involved look like these:

Purchase Returns and Allowances

Purchase Return . . . Merchandise returned by the purchaser to the

supplier.

Purchase Allowance . . . A reduction in the cost of defective or

unacceptable merchandise received by a purchaser from a supplier.

Purchase Return . . . Merchandise returned by the purchaser to the

supplier.

Purchase Allowance . . . A reduction in the cost of defective or

unacceptable merchandise received by a purchaser from a supplier.

On November 15, Z-Mart (buyer) issues a $300 debit memorandum for an allowance from

Trex for defective merchandise.

Z-Mart purchases $1,000 of merchandise on June 1 with terms 2/10, n/60. Two days later, Z-Mart returns $100 of goods before paying the invoice. When Z-Mart later pays on June 11, it takes

the 2% discount only on the $900 remaining balance.

Transportation Costs and Ownership Transfer

Exhibit 4.7

Transportation Costs

Z-Mart purchased merchandise on terms of FOB shipping point. The transportation

charge is $75.

Since freight terms were FOB shipping point, Z-mart is responsible for the freight charges. We increase Merchandise Inventory for the cost of the freight.

transactions for merchandise sales using a perpetual system.

Accounting for Merchandise Sales

Exhibit 4.9

Sales of Merchandise

Each sales transaction for a seller of merchandise involves two parts:

Revenue received in the form of an

asset from a customer.

Recognition of the cost of merchandise sold to a customer.

Z-Mart sold $2,400 of merchandise on credit. The merchandise has a cost basis to Z-Mart of

$1,600.

Sales of Merchandise

Two entries are required:1) Records the revenue 2) Records the cost

Sales Discounts

Sales discounts on credit sales can benefit a seller by decreasing the delay in receiving cash and reducing future

collection efforts.

Z-Mart completes a $1,000 credit sale with terms of 2/10, n/60.

Sales Discounts

Option 1: The account was paid in full within the 60-day period.

Option 2: The account was paid in full within the 10-day discount period.

Sales Returns and Allowances

Sales returns and allowances usually involve dissatisfied customers and the possibility of

lost future sales.

Sales returns refer to merchandise that customers return to

the seller after a sale.

Sales allowances refer to reductions in the selling price of

merchandise sold to customers.

Recall Z-Mart’s sale for $2,400 that had a cost of $1,600. Assume the customer returns part of the merchandise. The

returned items sell for $800 and cost $600.

Sales Returns and Allowances

Two entries are required:1) Records the reduction in revenue 2) Records the return of goods to

inventory

Assume that $800 of the merchandise Z-Mart sold on November 3 is defective but the buyer decides to keep it

because Z-Mart offers a $100 price reduction.

Sales Allowances

One entry is required:1) Records the reduction in revenue

The customer returns 20 units because those units did not fit the customer’s needs. The seller restores those units to its inventory.The customer discovers that 30 units are damaged but are still of some use and, therefore, keeps the units because the seller sends the buyer a credit memorandum for $90 to compensate for the damage.

Prepare journal entries to record each of the following sales transactions of a merchandising company. Assume a perpetual inventory system.

Sold 500 units of merchandise to a customer for $14 per unit under credit terms of 2/10, n/30, FOB shipping point, and the invoice is dated June 1. The merchandise had cost $10 per unit.

The customer discovers that 10 units are the wrong color, but keeps 8 of these units because the seller sends a $12 credit memorandum to compensate.The customer returns the remaining 2 units to the seller. The seller restores the 2 returned units to its inventory

Both U.S. GAAP and IFRS include broad and similar guidance for the accounting of merchandise purchases and sales.

Income Statement PresentationBoth U.S. GAAP and IFRS income statements begin with the net sales or net revenues (top line) item. For merchandisers and manufacturers, this

is followed by cost of goods sold. The presentation is similar for the remaining items with the following differences.

A common rule of thumb is the acid-test ratio should have a value of at least 1.0 to conclude a company is unlikely to
