The two accounts affected by the adjusting entry for Merchandise Inventory are the Merchandise Inventory account and the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) account. When the inventory is adjusted to reflect the actual count or value, the Merchandise Inventory account is updated to show the correct ending balance, while the COGS account is adjusted to account for any changes in the total cost of inventory sold during the period. This adjustment ensures accurate financial reporting and inventory management.

This adjustment ensures that the financial statements accurately represent the value of the inventory on hand. Consequently, it may also affect the cost of goods sold when calculating net income. Overall, it helps maintain accurate financial records and reporting.
