Purchase Transactions
o If merchandise inventory at the end of the

period is determined by taking a physical
count of inventory on hand, a periodic
inventory system is being used.


o Under the perpetual inventory system, the

amounts of inventory purchased, available for
sale, and sold are continuously (perpetually)
updated in the inventory records.



o On January 3, NetSolutions purchased
merchandise for cash.

*

NOTE: We will assume a perpetual
inventory system is used.


o On January 4, NetSolutions purchased

merchandise on account from Thomas
Corporation.


Credit Terms
o To encourage the buyer to pay before the end
of the credit period, the seller may offer a
discount. Credit terms of 2/10, n/30 are
summarized in the next slide (Exhibit 2).


Purchases Discounts
1. A buyer may receive a discount from the

seller (sales discount) for early payment of
the amount owed. From the buyer’s
perspective, such discounts are called
purchases discounts.


o Alpha Technologies issues an invoice for

$3,000 to NetSolutions dated January 5, with
terms 2/10, n/30. NetSolutions is trying to
determine if it should pay the invoice within
the discount period.



o If NetSolutions can borrow cash at an annual
interest rate of 6%, should the firm borrow
cash to pay the invoice within the discount
period?
Discount of 2% on $3,000
Interest for 20 days at the rate
of 6% on $2,940
Savings from borrowing

$60.00
– 9.80
$50.20

YES


o Alpha Technologies issued an invoice for

$3,000 to NetSolutions dated January 5, with
terms 2/10, n/30. Based on the calculation in
the previous slide, NetSolutions pays the
amount due, less the discount, on January 15.


Discount Not Taken

o Assume that, instead of paying the invoice

within the discount period, NetSolutions pays
the invoice on February 4.


Purchases Returns and Allowances
o A purchases return involves actually returning
merchandise that is damaged or does not meet
the specifications of the order. From a buyer’s
perspective, such returns are called purchases
returns and allowances.


Debit Memo

o A debit memorandum, often called a debit

memo, informs the seller of the amount the
buyer proposes to debit to the account
payable due the seller.


Debit Memo

o NetSolutions records the return of the

merchandise indicated in the debit memo in
Exhibit 3 as follows:


Merchandise Purchased

o On May 2, NetSolutions purchased $5,000 of

merchandise on account from Delta Data Link,
terms 2/10, n/30.


Merchandise Returned

o On May 4 , NetSolutions returned $3,000 of the
merchandise purchased from Delta Data Link.


Invoice Paid

o On May 12, NetSolutions paid for the purchase
of May 2 less the return and discount.


Cash Sales

o On March 3, NetSolutions sold $1,800 of
merchandise for cash.


Cash Sales

o Using the perpetual inventory system, the cost

of merchandise sold and the decrease in
merchandise inventory are also recorded. The
cost of merchandise sold on March 3 is $1,200.


Cash Sales

o Sales made to customers using credit cards are
recorded as cash sales. Assume that
NetSolutions paid credit card processing fees
of $4,150 on March 31.


Sales on Account

o On March 10, NetSolutions sold merchandise
on account for $18,000. The cost of
merchandise sold was $10,800.


Sales Discounts

o The terms for when payments for merchandise
are to be made are called credit terms. If
payment is required on delivery, the terms are
cash or net cash. Otherwise, the buyer is
allowed an amount of time, known as the credit
period, in which to pay.


Receipts on Account

o On March 19, NetSolutions receives the amount
due within ten days, so the buyer deducted
$360 ($18,000 x 2%) from the invoice amount.


Credit Memo

o A credit memorandum, often called a credit

memo, authorizes a credit to (decreases) the
buyer’s account receivable. An example of a
credit memo issued by NetSolutions is shown
in Exhibit 4 (next slide).


Credit Memo

o On April 13, issued Credit Memo No. 321 to

Krier Company for merchandise returned to
NetSolutions. Selling price, $2,250; cost to
NetSolutions, $1,600.


Freight
o If ownership of the merchandise passes to the
buyer when the seller delivers the
merchandise to the freight carrier, the terms
are said to be FOB (free on board) shipping
point.


Freight

o On June 10, NetSolutions buys merchandise

from Magna Data on account, $900, terms FOB
shipping point and pays the shipping cost of
$50.


Freight
o If ownership of the merchandise passes to the

destination. The cost of the merchandise sold
is $480.

freight. Under the periodic inventory system,
