A company should always maintain anadequate supply of inventory for production or sales needs. However, in some places, there is an inventory tax based on year-end inventory. In this case, you would want to reduce inventory toward the end of the year with replenishments scheduled to arrive shortly thereafter.

The Company purchased $1,000,000 in goods to sell from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. The inventory was counted and valued again at the end of the year and was valued at $300,000.

If the balance in Merchandise Inventory is larger at the end of the year than at the beginning what adjusting entry would you make for this account?

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.
