WHAT IS A MERCHANDISING BUSINESS?
A merchandising business, sometimes called merchandisers, is
one of the most common types of businesses we interact with
daily. It is a business that purchases finished products and resells
them to consumers.
Merchandising is the promotion of goods and/or services that are
available for retail sale. Merchandising includes the determination
of quantities, setting prices for goods and services, creating
display designs, developing marketing strategies, and
establishing discounts or coupons.
Merchandising companies purchase goods that are ready for sale
and then sell them to customers. Merchandising companies
include auto dealerships, clothing stores, and supermarkets, all of
which earn revenue by selling goods to customers.
In a merchandising sales transaction, the seller sells a product
and transfers the legal ownership (title) of the goods to the buyer.
A business document called an invoice (a sales invoice for the
seller and a purchase invoice for the buyer) becomes the basis
for recording the sale.

SERVICE BUSINESS VS. MERCHANDISING BUSINESS

 Inventory is the term for the goods available for sale and raw materials
used to produce goods available for sale. Inventory represents one of
the most important assets of a business because the turnover of
inventory represents one of the primary sources of revenue
generation.

 Inventory refers to all the items, goods, merchandise, and materials

held by a business for selling in the market to earn a profit.
Inventories are assets:
 held for sale in the ordinary course of business
 in the process of production for such sale, or
 in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the
production process or in rendering of services

Inventory types:
 raw materials
 work in progress
 finished goods inventory
 merchandise inventory

The cost of inventories comprises:

 costs of purchase
 costs of conversion
 other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition.

INVENTORY SYSTEMS
There are two main types of inventory systems, the
perpetual inventory system and the periodic inventory
system. The main difference between the two systems
is how often inventory data is updated.
The perpetual inventory method is one in which
inventory data is updated continuously. When an order is
placed or received, that data immediately is entered into
the system to update the quantity and inventory
availability right away. This is where the term perpetual
comes from. Data is entered perpetually, or continuously,
as opposed to the periodic system, where data is updated
according to a set interval of time.
A periodic inventory system only updates the ending
inventory balance in the general ledger when a physical
inventory count is conducted. Since physical inventory
counts are time-consuming, few companies do them
more than once a quarter or year. In the meantime, the
inventory account in the accounting system continues to
show the cost of the inventory that was recorded as of the
last physical inventory count.
Under the periodic inventory system, all purchases made between physical inventory counts are recorded in
a purchases account. When a physical inventory count is done, the balance in the purchases account is then
shifted into the inventory account, which in turn is adjusted to match the cost of the ending inventory.

Perpetual Inventory Method Periodic Inventory System

A method of controlling inventory that maintains
continuous records on the flow of units of inventory
for all transactions.
Provides better control and is more costly than the
periodic method.
Stock losses more easily determined.
A method of calculating inventory that uses data on
beginning inventory, additions to inventory, and an
end-of-period count to deduce the COGS.
Purchases account:
used to record purchases of inventory.
Purchase returns and allowances account:
purchasing company returns goods to supplier or
receives a price reduction.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

 All inventory is in a saleable condition (e.g. supermarket).

 One Statement of Financial Position called ‘inventory’ is sufficient.

Error in Measuring Inventory

• Overstatement of ending inventory leads to:

– understatement of cost of goods sold
– overstatement of profit.

• Understatement of ending inventory leads to:

– overstatement of cost of goods sold
– understatement of profit.

PROBLEM 1

Eversoll Inc. uses the periodic inventory system.

June 1 On hand, 50 units @ P15.00 each P 750.00

5 Purchased 115 units @ P15.00 each 1,725.00

Sales discounts (5,500)
Net sales P 64,200

PROBLEM 4

Based upon the following data, determine the cost of merchandise sold for April.

Merchandise Inventory April 1 P 85,560

Merchandise Inventory April 30 96,330
Purchases 373,880
Purchases Returns & Allowances 14,760
Purchases Discounts 10,900
Freight In 4,135

ANSWER:

Cost of merchandise sold:

Merchandise Inventory April 1 P85,560
Purchases P373,880
Less: Purchases Returns and Allowances P14,760
Purchases Discounts 10,900 (25,660)
Net Purchases P348,220
Add Freight-In 4,135
Cost of merchandise purchased 352,355
Merchandise available for sale 437,915
Less merchandise inventory, April 30
(96,330)
Cost of merchandise sold P341,585

Purchases Returns and Allowances- is an account that is paired with and offsets the purchases account in
a periodic inventory system. The account contains deductions from purchases for items returned to suppliers,
as well as deductions allowed by suppliers for goods that are not returned.

Purchases Discounts- is a deduction that a company may receive if the supplier offers it and the company
pays the supplier's invoice within a specified period of time. The purchase discount is also known as a cash
discount or early-payment discount.

Freight-in- The shipping cost to be paid by the buyer of merchandise purchased when the terms are FOB
shipping point.

When you are shipping freight to your customers, the cost of making that delivery is an expense that comes
out of your ledger as a debit. This is considered a selling expense and is known as freight-out. When you
make a purchase and the supplier bills you for shipping that is referred to as freight-in.

collect. Prepaid means the freight must be paid before the goods maybe
transported. On the other hand, Collect if payment is expected upon delivery
of the goods.

The significance of shipping terms:

a. It determines when the transfer of ownership of the goods is effected

b. Ascertains who owns the goods that are in transit
c. Whoever owns the goods in transit will bear the cost of the freight

Shipping terms maybe –

a) Free on Board (FOB), shipping point or – goods to be delivered by seller to the point of shipment such
as aboard a ship, or train w/o further charge to the buyer. After the point of shipment, the seller is no longer
responsible for shipment expenses.
b) Free on Board, destination – goods are delivered by the seller aboard a train or ship up to its
destination thus, shipment expenses are the responsibility of the seller.

Very important Notes:

 If the buyer is the owner of the goods in transit, the cost of the freight paid by him is recorded in his
books as Freight-in and it is added to Purchases to form part of Cost of Sales.
 If the seller owns the goods in transit, the freight paid by the seller is recorded in his books as
Freight-out and it is treated as Operating Expense.

This diagram shows when ownership of goods in transit passes from the seller to the buyer.

Possible shipping terms and freight requirements are:

1. FOB Shipping point, freight prepaid
2. FOB Shipping point, freight collect
3. FOB destination, freight prepaid
4. FOB destination, freight collect

The last topic for this week is Payroll Accounting

The pro-forma entries to record the compensation
and payment for employees’ services with related
deductions for agency liabilities are:

Salaries Expense xxx

SSS Premiums Payable xxx
Philhealth Contributions Payable xxx
Pag-ibig Contributions Payable xxx
Withholding Taxes Payable xxx
Cash xxx

Salaries expense is debited whenever payroll for employees’ compensationis prepared usually every 15th
and 30th of the month. Compensation for daily and weekly laborers may also be included, in which case the
account is accordingly entitled: Salaries and Wages.

 Philhealth, Pag-ibig and SSS contributions are
government mandated deductions from the employees’
gross compensation where the employer is also mandated
to contribute.

SSS Premiums Payable are mandatory contributions deducted from the employees’ gross pay to be
remitted to the Social Security System on or before the deadline on the following month.

The SSS Premiums apply to both the employer and employees. Thus, on the same payroll day, the employer
will record his share of the employees SSS premiums with the following enty:

Dr. SSS Premiums Expense Pxxx

Cr. SSS Premiums Payable Pxxx

On the remittance date, the total of the employer and employee contribution will be remitted to the Social
Security System with the following entry:

Dr. SSS Premiums Payable Pxxx

Cr. Cash Pxxxx

Philhealth Contributions Payable is another government mandated deduction. The employer also has his
counterpart to this deduction. It is remitted to the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation as a total of the
employer and employee contribution on the following month on or before the designated due date.

Pag-ibig Contributions Payable is also a government mandated deduction. The company-employer share
is also recorded on the same payroll date. It is remitted in total to the Pag-ibig the following month after the
month of deduction.

Withholding Taxes Payable are income taxes withheld by the company- employer from the taxable
compensation of employees. Under the new Train Law, employees whose compensation and other income
exceeds P250,000 per year will be deducted every month and remitted by the employer the following month.

For computation of the withholding tax, there is a tax table provided, see this example below:

The company-employer normally provides a payslip to its employees that give details about their gross
income with their corresponding deductions for a payroll period. A sample payslip is provided below:
