    Merchandise bought for resale
    Confused on how to make the journal entries...

    The company Eagle purchased on account merchandise for resale during the first fiscal quarter totaling 400,000, and increased purchases by 20% over each of the next three quarters. Eagel pays for thirty percent of each quarter's purchases in the quarter, and pays the remaining seventy percent in the following quarter.
