 Merchandising companies do not calculate the raw materials placed in production or cost of goods manufactured.  Merchandisers purchase goods from suppliers instead of manufacturing goods. The cost of these purchases from suppliers is often called net purchases in the income statement, in contrast to cost of goods manufactured in a manufacturer’s income statement. The net purchases line consists of purchases, purchases returns and allowances, purchases discounts, and freight in.  Merchandisers do not use the schedule of cost of goods manufactured (and related schedule of raw materials placed in production).  Merchandisers use an account called merchandise inventory, or simply inventory, instead of finished goods inventory.
