CHAPTER 5

 

ACCOUNTING FOR MERCHANDISING OPERATIONS

 

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES

 

 

  1. Describe the differences between service and merchandising companies. A service company performs services. It has service or fee revenue and operating expenses. A merchandising company sells goods. It has sales revenue, cost of goods sold, gross profit, and operating expenses. A merchandising company has a longer operating cycle than a service company. Merchandising companies must decide if they want to spend the extra resources to use a perpetual inventory system in which inventory records are updated with each purchase and sale. The benefit of the perpetual system is that it provides better information and control over inventory than a periodic system in which inventory records are updated only at the end of the accounting period.

 

 

  1. Prepare entries for purchases under a perpetual inventory system. The Merchandise Inventory account is debited (increased) for all purchases of merchandise and freight, if freight is paid by the buyer. It is credited (decreased) for purchase returns and allowances and purchase discounts. Purchase discounts are cash reductions to the net invoice price for early payment.

 

 

  1. Prepare entries for sales under a perpetual inventory system. When inventory is sold, two entries are required: (1) Accounts Receivable (or Cash) is debited and Sales is credited for the selling price of the merchandise. (2) Cost of Goods Sold (an expense) is debited (increased) and Merchandise Inventory (a current asset) is credited (decreased) for the cost of the inventory items sold. Contra revenue accounts are used to record sales returns and allowances and sales discounts under ASPE. For IRFS, refund liability and inventory returns accounts are used for sales returns and allowances. Freight costs paid by the seller are recorded as an operating expense.

 

 

  1. Perform the steps in the accounting cycle for a merchandising company. Each of the required steps in the accounting cycle for a service company is also done for a merchandising company. An additional adjusting journal entry may be required under a perpetual inventory system. The Merchandise Inventory account must be adjusted to agree with the physical inventory count if there is a difference in the amounts. Merchandising companies have additional temporary accounts that must also be closed at the end of the accounting year.

 

 

  1. Prepare single-step and multiple-step income statements. In a single-step income statement, all data are classified under two categories (revenues or expenses), and profit is determined in one step. A multiple-step income statement shows several steps in determining profit. Net sales is calculated by deducting sales returns and allowances and sales discounts from sales. Next, gross profit is calculated by deducting the cost of goods sold from net sales. Profit (loss) from operations is then calculated by deducting operating expenses from gross profit. Total non-operating activities are added to (or deducted from) profit from operations to determine profit.

 

 

  1. Calculate the gross profit margin and profit margin. The gross profit margin, calculated by dividing gross profit by net sales, measures the gross profit earned for each dollar of sales. The profit margin, calculated by dividing profit by net sales, measures the profit (total profit) earned for each dollar of sales. Both are measures of profitability that are closely watched by management and other interested parties.

 

 

  1. Prepare the entries for purchases and sales under a periodic inventory system and calculate cost of goods sold (Appendix 5A). In a periodic inventory system, separate temporary expense and contra expense accounts are used to record (a) purchases, (b) purchase returns and allowances, (c) purchase discounts, and (d) freight costs paid by the buyer. Purchases − purchase returns and allowances − purchase discounts = net purchases. Net purchases + freight-in = cost of goods purchased.

In a periodic inventory system, only one journal entry is made to record a sale of merchandise. Cost of goods sold is not recorded at the time of the sale. Instead, it is calculated as follows at the end of the period after the ending inventory has been counted: Beginning inventory + cost of goods purchased = cost of goods available for sale. Cost of goods available for sale − ending inventory = cost of goods sold.

 

 

Exercises

 

 

Exercise 1

Below are four independent scenarios:

  1. A store manager checks the computer system to determine if there is enough inventory to fill a customer order.

Exercise 3
Discuss the difference between the periodic and perpetual inventory systems.

 

Solution 3 (5 min.)

In a perpetual inventory system, the company keeps detailed records of each inventory purchase and sale. This system continuously shows the quantity and cost of the inventory that should be on hand for every item. In a periodic inventory system, companies do not keep detailed inventory records of the goods on hand throughout the period. Instead, the cost of goods sold is determined only at the end of the accounting period.

Exercise 39

The following information is taken from the financial statements of Down Home Deli for the last three years. The owner, John Walton is quite pleased to see that his sales are growing steadily.

2017               2016                2015

Sales……………………………………….. $ 61,500         $ 50,400          $ 42,000

Cost of goods sold……………………..    27,670            21,170             16,800

Profit from operations…………………      7,530              6,050               4,620

Profit………………………………………..      3,075              4,030               2,940

 

Instructions

  1. a) Calculate gross profit margin, profit margin, and profit margin using profit from operations.
  2. b) Comment on whether the Deli is, in fact, doing better over the three years as John believes.

 

Solution 39 (15 min.)

a)

  2017 2016 2015
Gross profit margin ($61,500 – $27,670) ÷ $61,500 = 55%

 

($50,400 – 21,170) ÷ $50,400 = 58% ($42,000 – $16,800 ÷ $42,000 = 60%
Profit margin ($ 3,075 ÷ $61,500) = 5.0% ($4,030 ÷ $50,400) = 8.0% ($2,940 ÷ $42,000) = 7.0%
Profit margin-operating ($7,530 ÷ $61,500) = 12.2% ($6,050 ÷ $50,400) = 12.0% ($4,620 ÷ $42,000) = 11.0%

 

  1. b) The deli’s sales have increased significantly from year to year, and profit has grown marginally (from $2,940 to $3,075) over the three years. However, the gross profit margin has decreased from 60% to 55%, so John is not increasing his prices at the same rate as his merchandise costs go up. Because the profit margin based on profits from operation has increased (from 11% to 12.2%), it would appear that he has had sufficient savings in operating expenses to compensate for the decrease in gross profit margin. Unfortunately, other (non-operating) costs seem to have gone up as well, since the profit margin has decreased (from 7% to 5%) at the same time as the operating profit margin increased.

CHAPTER 5

 

ACCOUNTING FOR MERCHANDISING OPERATIONS

 

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES

 

 

  1. Describe the differences between service and merchandising companies. A service company performs services. It has service or fee revenue and operating expenses. A merchandising company sells goods. It has sales revenue, cost of goods sold, gross profit, and operating expenses. A merchandising company has a longer operating cycle than a service company. Merchandising companies must decide if they want to spend the extra resources to use a perpetual inventory system in which inventory records are updated with each purchase and sale. The benefit of the perpetual system is that it provides better information and control over inventory than a periodic system in which inventory records are updated only at the end of the accounting period.

 

 

  1. Prepare entries for purchases under a perpetual inventory system. The Merchandise Inventory account is debited (increased) for all purchases of merchandise and freight, if freight is paid by the buyer. It is credited (decreased) for purchase returns and allowances and purchase discounts. Purchase discounts are cash reductions to the net invoice price for early payment.

 

 

  1. Prepare entries for sales under a perpetual inventory system. When inventory is sold, two entries are required: (1) Accounts Receivable (or Cash) is debited and Sales is credited for the selling price of the merchandise. (2) Cost of Goods Sold (an expense) is debited (increased) and Merchandise Inventory (a current asset) is credited (decreased) for the cost of the inventory items sold. Contra revenue accounts are used to record sales returns and allowances and sales discounts under ASPE. For IRFS, refund liability and inventory returns accounts are used for sales returns and allowances. Freight costs paid by the seller are recorded as an operating expense.

 

 

  1. Perform the steps in the accounting cycle for a merchandising company. Each of the required steps in the accounting cycle for a service company is also done for a merchandising company. An additional adjusting journal entry may be required under a perpetual inventory system. The Merchandise Inventory account must be adjusted to agree with the physical inventory count if there is a difference in the amounts. Merchandising companies have additional temporary accounts that must also be closed at the end of the accounting year.

 

 

  1. Prepare single-step and multiple-step income statements. In a single-step income statement, all data are classified under two categories (revenues or expenses), and profit is determined in one step. A multiple-step income statement shows several steps in determining profit. Net sales is calculated by deducting sales returns and allowances and sales discounts from sales. Next, gross profit is calculated by deducting the cost of goods sold from net sales. Profit (loss) from operations is then calculated by deducting operating expenses from gross profit. Total non-operating activities are added to (or deducted from) profit from operations to determine profit.

 

 

  1. Calculate the gross profit margin and profit margin. The gross profit margin, calculated by dividing gross profit by net sales, measures the gross profit earned for each dollar of sales. The profit margin, calculated by dividing profit by net sales, measures the profit (total profit) earned for each dollar of sales. Both are measures of profitability that are closely watched by management and other interested parties.

 

 

  1. Prepare the entries for purchases and sales under a periodic inventory system and calculate cost of goods sold (Appendix 5A). In a periodic inventory system, separate temporary expense and contra expense accounts are used to record (a) purchases, (b) purchase returns and allowances, (c) purchase discounts, and (d) freight costs paid by the buyer. Purchases − purchase returns and allowances − purchase discounts = net purchases. Net purchases + freight in = cost of goods purchased.

In a periodic inventory system, only one journal entry is made to record a sale of merchandise. Cost of goods sold is not recorded at the time of the sale. Instead, it is calculated as follows at the end of the period after the ending inventory has been counted: Beginning inventory + cost of goods purchased = cost of goods available for sale. Cost of goods available for sale − ending inventory = cost of goods sold.
