Chapter-3 Accounting for a Merchandising Enterprise

3.1 Introduction
1. Definition – Merchandising enterprise refers to a business organization which buys finished products
and resells them to its customers for profit. E.g. supermarkets, drugstores, stationery shops, car
dealers, electronic shops, etc

Assets held for resale in the normal course of business of a merchandising enterprise are called
merchandise inventory.

2. Classification
o wholesaler – buys/imports and distributes/sells to retailers
o retailer – buys from wholesaler/manufacturers and sells directly to consumers.

3. Characteristics – The following points distinguish a merchandising enterprise from other types of
businesses:
o difference between merchandising and service enterprises
 A merchandising enterprise sells finished products rather than services and revenues from sells
of finished goods are called sales.
 A merchandising business has two types of major expenses - cost of goods sold which
represent expired cost of merchandise sold and operating expenses which represent all other
expenses necessary to run the business.
 In a merchandising business net income is calculated after two steps: first gross profit is
determined to be the difference between sales and cost of goods sold and then net income is
determined by deducting operating expenses from gross profit.
 A merchandising business uses relatively more types of accounts including sales and purchase
related ones (discussed in subsequent sections).
o difference between merchandising and manufacturing enterprises
 A merchandising enterprise does not manufacture products rather buy them from
manufacturers or other merchandisers.

4. Major activities
o buying and selling merchandise inventory

5. Accounting
o Though there are some basic differences between merchandising enterprise and the other types of
businesses, accounting cycle is equally applicable to any kind of business. Like in the other
organizations, the following apply in accounting for financial affairs of a merchandising business
 Double entry accounting and the rules of debts and credits
 Use of various types and classes of accounts
 Use of journals and ledgers
 Preparation of financial statements
o Accounting for a merchandising business is usually divided into two broad categories –
accounting for purchases and accounting for sales which are covered in the following sections.

3.2 Accounting for Purchases

1. Purchasing Procedures – The purchasing of merchandise inventory in a merchandising business may
involve the following procedures
o Issuance of purchase requisition – a business form usually prepared by the storekeeper
requesting the purchasing department of a business for purchase of certain types and quantities of
1
 Lecture Notes/Principles of Accounting-I (AcFn-201)/2008©TG

inventory items not available in store.

o Issuance of purchase order – a business form issued by the purchase department requesting
vendors to supply the business with certain types and quantities of inventory on a specified date
and at an agreed upon price. This form usually contains information such as the type and quantity
of inventory ordered, price, and terms of payment and transportation.
o Preparation of receiving report – a business form usually prepared by the storekeeper
evidencing the types, amounts and conditions of inventory received from vendors.
o Recording purchase – keeping record of purchases which is done by the accounts department of
a business. Journal entries are prepared after checking the consistency of information contained in
three basic purchase source documents: purchase order, receiving report and purchase invoice.
o Settlement of invoices – this refers to making cash payments for inventories purchased and is
done after checking the accuracy and validity of the invoice to be settled.

2. Recording Purchases – Purchases of merchandise inventory are recorded and accumulated in a

general ledger account called Purchases. Purchases is an income statement account to be closed at the
end of each accounting period to the Income Summary or to Cost of Goods Sold account. It has a
debit normal balance. The following entries are needed to record purchases of merchandise inventory:
Purchases xx
Accounts Payable/Cash xx

Example 3-1
On May 2, 2004, DNN Drugstore purchased $65,000 worth of drugs and sanitary products
(insulin, toothpaste, etc) from ZAF Pharmaceuticals. 20% of the purchases are on cash and the
remaining are on credit.

Required: Record the above transactions for

a) DNN
b) ZAF

3. Deductions from Purchases – refer to reductions in the cost of purchases as a result of such
transactions as early payment of purchase invoices, returns of damaged or defective goods and/or
price reduction received from sellers for minor defects on goods purchased.

i) Purchase Discounts – When goods are sold on credit, sellers usually offer price reduction called
cash discounts to encourage buyers to pay invoices early. Such price reductions are identified by
the purchaser as Purchase Discounts and recorded as a credit to Purchase Discounts account,
while the seller identifies them as Sales Discounts and records them as a debit to Sales Discounts
account. Purchase discounts and sales discounts are contra accounts reported as deductions from
purchases and sales, respectively.

Agreements between the buyer and the seller concerning such issues as to when to make payment
for the goods, who will pay for transportation, who owns goods in transit, etc are collectively
called sales/purchase terms. Credit terms, part of the sales terms, refer to arrangements between
the buyer and the seller as to when to pay for purchases on credit. The credit terms indicate

o Credit period – the time period within which the invoice for credit purchase is due. For example,
net 30 days (usually written as n/30) means that the amount is due 30 days from the date of
invoice. Other terms include n/45 and n/eom (net due by the end of the month in which the
purchase was made).
2
 Lecture Notes/Principles of Accounting-I (AcFn-201)/2008©TG

o Discount rate and period – Discount rate represents cash discount expressed in percentage of the
invoice amount. Discount period is time period, shorter than the credit period, within which the
invoice must be entirely or partly paid to get the stated discount. For example, 2/10 indicates that
the buyer can get 2% discount if it settles the invoice within 10 days from the date of the invoice.
Discounts are applicable to only amount of invoice paid within the discount period and on invoice
amount net of returns and allowances (discussed below).

The following entry is made by the buyer for invoices paid within the discount period:
Accounts Payable xx
Purchase Discount xx
Cash xx

Example 3-2
On May 1, 2004, DNN Drugstore purchased $24,000 of drugs and sanitary products from ZAF
Pharmaceuticals, terms 2/10, n/30. DNN paid the invoice in full on May 11, 2004.

Required: Record the above transactions for

a) DNN
b) ZAF

ii) Trade Discounts – refer to reduction from list prices of goods. They help sellers to adjust list
prices without changing price catalogs and/or charge different prices to different customers based
on the quantity of goods bought. For example, sellers do not charge the same price for small and
large quantity purchases. In our country, trade discounts are commonly identified as Big
Discounts and are used to reduce selling prices of goods so as to attract buyers especially during
holiday weeks. Trade discounts are used to determine the actual invoice price of goods and do not
appear in the accounting records.

Example 3-3
On May 5, 2004, Merewa Music Shop purchased 100 tape recorders from Sky Electronics, terms
2/10, n/30. The tape recorders are listed at $400 each subject to 30% trade discount. Merewa paid
for 60 of the tape recorders on March 15, 2004.
Required: Record the above transactions for
a) Merewa
b) Sky

iii) Purchase Returns and Allowances – When goods purchased are damaged or found to be
defective or with the wrong color and size, the buyer may take any of the following actions
depending mainly upon the extent of the damage or defect:
o Return the goods and get credit (reduction in amount payable to the seller) or refund for the value
of the returned goods resulting in Purchase Returns to the buyer and Sales Returns to the seller.
o Keep the goods but ask for price adjustment which when approved by the seller results in
Purchase Allowances for the buyer and Sales Allowances for the seller.

Returns and allowances are recorded by the purchaser as credit to Purchases Returns and
Allowances - a contra purchases account while the seller records them as a debit to contra sales
account called Sales Returns and Allowances. The purchaser issues a document called debit
memo to request credit for returns and allowances and the seller issues a credit memo to notify its
acceptance of the buyer’s request for credit.
3
 Lecture Notes/Principles of Accounting-I (AcFn-201)/2008©TG

The following entry is made by the buyer when it receives credit memo from the seller for returns
and allowances:
Accounts Payable/Cash xx
Purchase Returns and Allowances xx

Gross purchases – (purchase discounts + purchase returns and allowances) = Net purchases

Example 3-4
On May 1, 2004, DNN Drugstore purchased $54,000 of sanitary products from AFCO Sanitary
Products Share Co, terms 2/10, n/eom. On May 5, 2004 DNN discovered and returned $10,000 of
defective goods and on the same date received credit memo from ZAF Pharmaceuticals
acknowledging the returns. DNN settled the outstanding balance in full on May 11, 2004.

Required: Record the above transactions for

a) DNN
b) AFCO

iv) Shipment Terms – are usually parts of credit terms specifying the party responsible for paying
transportation costs and transfer of ownership of goods sold/bought. There are two common
shipment terms:
 FOB (Free On Board) Shipping Point – This means that ownership of the goods passes from
the seller to the buyer at shipping point or right after the goods leave the store of the seller.
Under this term the buyer owns the goods in transit and will cover all freight costs.

 FOB Destination – This means that ownership of the goods will not pass from the seller to the
buyer until the goods reach their destination i.e. the buyer’s location or store. Under this term
the seller owns the goods in transit and covers all freight costs.

Transportation costs are recorded by the buyer as a debit to an account called Freight or
Transportation In as shown below. By the end of an accounting period, the balance of this
account is added to the purchases account to determine total cost of purchases during a given
period.
Freight-in xx
Cash xx

The seller, if responsible to cover for transportation costs, records transportation costs paid as
operating expenses by debiting an expense account called Delivery Expense or
Transportation/Freight Out as follows.
Freight-Out/Delivery Expense xx
Cash xx

Example 3-5
On May 1, 2004, DNN Drugstore purchased $60,000 of drugs from NAN Drugs Factory, terms
2/10, n/eom, FOB Shipping point and paid $2,000 for transportation. DNN settled the invoice in
full on May 11, 2004.

Required: Record the above transactions for

a) DNN

4
 Lecture Notes/Principles of Accounting-I (AcFn-201)/2008©TG

b) NAN

In some cases, the seller may pay for transportation costs on behalf of the buyer under FOB
Shipping point terms. In such cases, the seller will add the mount paid to the invoice price and
record it as a debit to Accounts Receivable increasing the mount due from the buyer. The buyer, in
its part will record the amount as a credit to the Accounts Payable account increasing the amount
payable to the seller and as a debit to freight-in account. Prepaid transportation costs are not
subject to discount.

Example 3-6
On June 1, 2004, DNN Drugstore purchased $32,000 of drugs and sanitary products from ZAF
Pharmaceuticals, terms 2/10, n/45, FOB Shipping point. ZAF Pharmaceuticals paid $500 cash for
transportation and added it to the invoice. DNN settled the invoice in full on June 11, 2004.

Required: Record the above transactions for

a) DNN
b) ZAF

3.3 Accounting for Sales

1. Selling Procedures – The selling process may involve the following procedures
 Approving purchase orders – usually done by the credit department of a business, this step
involves making sure that incoming purchase orders are valid and the information related to
price and product type match with the currently available price policy and types of product.
Besides, if the buyer is requesting for credit, this procedure aims at making sure that such
buyer worth giving credit. When a purchase order is approved it will be converted into a sales
order.
 Inventory dispatch order – a form prepared by the sales department ordering the store to ship
certain inventory items to a buyer whose purchase order is approved.
 Issuance of sales invoice – done by the accounts section in consultation with the sales
department and the store, contains the terms related to payment, transportation and related
issues. Is prepared based on information contained on customer purchase order, inventory
dispatch order and sales order.
 Recording sales – keeping record of sales which is done by the accounts department of a
business. Journal entries are prepared after checking the consistency of information contained
in three basic sales source documents: sales order, inventory dispatch order and sales invoice.
 Collection of invoices – this refers to collection of cash from customers for inventories sold to
them.

2. Recording Sales – Sales of merchandise inventory are recorded and accumulated in a general ledger
account called Sales. This is an income statement account to be closed at the end of each accounting
period to Income Summary. As a revenue account, it has a credit normal balance. The following
entries are needed to record sales of merchandise inventory:
Accounts Receivable/Cash xx
Sales xx

ii) Trade Discounts – refer to reduction from list prices of goods which are used to adjust list prices
without changing price catalogs and/or charge different prices to different customers based on the
quantity of goods bought. Trade discounts are used to determine the actual invoice price of goods
and do not appear in the accounting records.

Example 3-9
On March 5, 2004, DNN Drugstore sold $40,000 of drugs subject to 20% trade discount to AAT
Clinic, terms 2/10, n/30. AAT settled the invoice in full on March 15, 2004.

3.4 Merchandise Inventory Systems

1. Definition
 merchandise inventory systems refer to approaches of
o recording purchases and sales of merchandise inventory
o determining cost of inventory sold during an accounting period
o determining cost of inventory remained on hand by the end of an accounting period
 two merchandise inventory systems: periodic and perpetual.

2. Periodic Inventory System

 relies on detail listing of inventory on hand (called physical inventory) to know ending inventory
and cost of goods sold
 keep records for inventory cost (and quantity) changes due to acquisition (purchases), cash
discount (purchase discounts), returns and allowances (purchase returns and allowances) and
transportation (freight in)
 does not record decreases in inventory due to sale to customers
 at the time of sale only revenue from sales is recorded and no attempt is made to record cost of
goods sold
 ending inventory is known only at the end of an accounting period by taking physical inventory
 cost of goods sold is also determined at the end of an accounting period after taking physical
inventory as follows
Beginning Merchandise Inventory.................................................. $xxx
Add: Gross Purchases................................................................. $xxx
Less: Purchase Discounts, Returns and Allowances……… (xxx)
Net purchases………………………………………………….. $xxx
Add: Freight in………………………………………………… xxx
Cost of merchandise purchased………………………………………. xxx
Merchandise Available for Sale...................................................... $xxx
Less: Ending Merchandise Inventory (known by physical count).. (xxx)
Cost of Goods Sold........................................................................... $xxx

 any inventory not on hand by the end of an accounting period is assumed to sold
 does not provide timely inventory information for preparation of financial statements and
inventory control
 used by sellers of high-volume low-cost inventory items such as stationery shops and drug stores
8

 keeps continuous records of each and every change in inventory
 provides perpetual timely inventory information
 strong internal control over inventory
 physical inventory is needed for ascertaining accuracy of perpetual inventory records
 used by sellers of low-volume high-cost inventory items such as car/computer dealers
 the merchandise inventory account is used to record all changes in inventory cost and quantity
 the following entries are made to handle inventory transactions
o to record purchases and transportation costs paid

3.5 Financial Reporting

1. Financial Statements
 Income statement
 Two forms
i) Single-step
o has two sections only: total revenues and total expenses
o no details of net sales, cost of goods sold, operating expenses, etc
o net income is computed in a single step by deducting total expenses from total revenues
o revenues
 net sales
 rent income
 other income
o cost and expenses
 cost of goods sold
 selling expenses
 administrative expenses
 other expense
o net income = total revenues – total expenses

ii) Multiple-step
o shows in detail net sales, cost of goods sold, operating expenses and other items
