accounting matter?????

Accounting cycle:

After you've posted the activity transactions, you need to begin closing the books on your worksheet.

Copy the trial balance into the first two columns.

(This sounds like where you've left off...)

Now you have to make adjusting entries:

accrued rents
accrued interest
accrued payroll
etc...

The inventory is one of them. What you do is conduct a hands-on count of everything left unsold and apply a value to it. One of the adjusting entries is to adjust your inventory balance to actual. (Your textbook might say that you do this only if you have a periodic inventory. In reality, you do it whether you have periodic or perpetual because you likely have a problem with "shrinkage".)

The entry for the inventory is:

Cost of goods sold (dr)
Inventory (cr)

for whatever number it takes to get your account to match your hands on valuation....Show more
