Merchandise Inventory. The value of merchandise in the trial balance is the amount of inventory on hand at the beginning of the year. No other transactions are posted to this account during the year because every time merchandise if purchased, it is debited to Purchases. Every time inventory is sold, it is credited to Sales.
If the balance in Merchandise Inventory is larger at the end of the year than at the beginning, you would need to adjust for the increase in inventory by debiting the Merchandise Inventory account. This typically reflects an increase in assets. Additionally, you would credit the Cost of Goods Sold account to reduce it, as the higher inventory level indicates that fewer goods were sold than were purchased during the year. This entry aligns the financial statements with the actual inventory levels.
