Luka · Answer 1

Debit Cost of Goods Sold $500

Explanation:

When inventory is purchased, debit inventory and credit cash or accounts payable. When inventory is sold, credit inventory (with the cost of inventory sold) and debit cost of goods sold (p/l).

Further more, sales is recognized by crediting sales account and debiting cash or accounts receivables.

As such, if original cost of the merchandise to X-Mart was $500, entries required would include a credit to merchandise inventory $500 and Debit Cost of Goods Sold $500.
