Inventory System

To determine the accounting for inventory two possible methods can be used: Periodic Inventory System The cost of the inventory sold is determined at the end of the fiscal period (usually once a year) PROS: easy to manage, faster, and inexpensive CONS: amount of inventory on hand cannot be determined unless a physical inventory count is performed (this means the inventory numbers are misstated throughout the fiscal year) Perpetual Inventory System Inventory is updated on a continuous basis (more details later)

Periodic Inventory System

The cost of goods that were sold is determined ‘periodically’.. only once a year! It is done in the same fashion as determining how many supplies were used in the fiscal period.
