I got that problem too. All I know is that no matter how many times you credit/debit merchandise/ cost of goods sold; both should add up to be the same in the journal.

Example:

AR 2600
Sales 2600

COGS 2000
Merch 2000

AR 3450
Sales 3450

COGS 2582
Merch 2582

COGS = Merch = 4582

Is this what you wanted?
I just hate it when examples in the book are easy, then the problems are 10x harder.
