In a perpetual inventory system, the journal entry to record the cost of merchandise sold involves debiting the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) account and crediting the Inventory account. For example, if the cost of merchandise sold is $1,000, the entry would be: Debit: Cost of Goods Sold $1,000 Credit: Inventory $1,000 This entry reflects the reduction in inventory and recognizes the expense associated with the goods that have been sold.
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory and Average Inventory = ( Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory ) / 2
ending inventory
The cost of inventory becomes an expense when the inventory is sold to customers, at which point it is recorded as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on the income statement. This transition reflects the matching principle in accounting, where expenses are recognized in the same period as the revenues they help generate. Until the inventory is sold, it remains an asset on the balance sheet.
Cost of Goods Available for Sale represents the physical cost of inventory on your books that is waiting to be sold, while Cost of Goods Sold represents the income statement expense for inventory once it is old. Due to the Matching Principle in Financial accounting, the cost of the inventory does not get expensed on the income statement until the goods are actually sold.
