Cost Of Good Sold
The term ‘Cost of Goods Sold’ refers to the amount: Of inventory that was sold during the fiscal period. It is determined by taking a ‘physical inventory.’ eg. Merchandise Purchased $10,000 Physical Inventory $ 2,000 Cost of Goods Sold $ 8,000
Physical Inventory
The unsold goods are physcially counted once a year.
Gross Profit
The term ‘Gross Profit’ refers to the amount: An item is sold for minus how much it was purchased for eg. USB Bracelet from China $4.60 Sold for $10.00 Gross Profit $5.40
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.
Sales Return and Allowances
Sometimes, merchandise is returned—or a partial allowance is given—after the sale.
Purchase Returns and Allowances
Purchase Returns and Allowances are treated in the same manner as Sales R & A.
Cash Discounts
A reduction in the amount owed if payment is made on or before the discount date stated on the bill Incentive for the customer to pay the invoice early
A ‘good’ (anything really) Bought for a certain price Sold for a higher price Goods are bought and sold for profit! Can of coke in store: $1.00 Can of coke from factory: $0.24 ‘Gross Profit’ $ 0.76

COFS(cost of good sold) formula

Cost of beginning goods + Cost of goods purchased - Cost of ending inventory = Cost of goods sold.
Cost of beginning goods + Cost of goods purchased - Cost if goods sold = Cost ending inventory.

Revised Cost of Goods Formula

Beginning Inventory + Net cost of purchases - Ending inventory = Cost of good sold

Net sales Formula

Sales revenue – Sales discounts – Sales returns and allowances.
