Inventory Accounting Systems

Perpetual systems maintain a running record to show the inventory on hand at all times. Periodic systems do not keep a continuous record of inventory on hand.

Computing the Cost of Inventory

Physical count is made at least once a year, even with a perpetual system. Consigned goods are excluded.

9-9

Periodic System
At the end of the period make a physical count and apply unit cost to determine ending inventory. Inventory purchases are debited to the purchases account. The inventory account carries the beginning inventory balance until adjusted at period end.
