A transaction that would increase an asset account and a liability account is when a company purchases inventory on credit. In this case, the inventory account (an asset) increases, while accounts payable (a liability) also increases due to the obligation to pay the supplier in the future. This transaction reflects an increase in both resources owned by the company and the debts owed.
Basically Inventory is valuated an asset. You keep inventory to service your customers and to smoothen production by purchasing semi-finished stuff. Inventory ties up your working capital hence the objective is to return your investment as soon as possible. A good measurement is the ratio of inventory turnover. Inventory becomes a liability when the life cycle ends either by becoming obsolete/discontinued or by means of expiry. Write offs are valuated as liabilities.
