You are not going to understand this if we simply give you the answers. We will work with you to understand the question, but you need to attempt it so we can see where you are not understanding. If you don't understand a concept or a definition, we can explain it to you. You need to understand the answers as the things you learn in Accounting will keep building on these concepts and you will be hopelessly lost if you don't understand them. Let me get you started.

Question 1There are two different systems used in merchandising Companies. The one that is called a perpetual inventory system updates inventory after each sale. When purchases are made, the entry is to debit Inventory and credit Accounts Payable. As sales are made, two entries are needed - one to record the sale and the other to deal with the cost of the sale. The one regarding cost is to adjust the COGS and Inventory account for the cost of the sale. The sales entry is to debit Accounts Receivable and Credit sales for the amount of the sale. The terms given have to do with payment of the invoice within a given time. 2/10 means there is a 2% discount if the invoice is paid within 10 days. If not, the term is n/30, means the invoice is due within 30 days with no discount. The terms are booked at the time of payment (for the buyer) or receipt of invoice (for the seller).

If you'd like, you can post again with your entries for each company and we can see if you are understanding. Thanks.
