Merchandise Inventory is a stock of products on hand of a merchandise company intended for sale.
Merchandise and inventory are related concepts but not exactly the same. Merchandise refers specifically to the goods that a business buys for resale to customers, while inventory encompasses all items a company holds for sale, including raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods. Therefore, all merchandise is part of inventory, but not all inventory is merchandise.
Merchandise Inventory is an asset account that shows up on the balance sheet.
The Buyer would likely perform the following transaction: DR- Account Receivable CR - Merchandise Inventory The Buyer would probably debit CASH if they receive CASH from the Seller instead of having to WAIT on it. The Merchandise Seller would perform the following transaction: DR - Merchandise Inventory CR - Accounts Payable, OR CASH
It is true that merchandise Inventory is found on the income statement.
Merchandise Inventory is an asset account, so the normal balance is Debit.
That is the correct spelling of the word "inventory" (stock of merchandise).
