perpetual inventory system

Okay, this accounting class is not fun anymore! I would suggest to anyone, not to do online college with accounting. At least for me, it would help to actually have someone explain and show it to me. Anyway, I posted on my blackboard to no answers, have an assignment due tomorrow. Is anyone game to checking this for me.. Thank you in advance! Ritafajita
My copy and paste came out weird, its a credit/debit pick with a drop down menu to pick one of the choices. I have most of my answers, just can't get cost of goods sold
