At year- end, adjusting entries need to be recorded for the following:
Inventory at December 31, $64,500 (periodic inventory procedures).
From how I understand it the entry should look like a debit to Inventory (ending), Purchase Returns & allowances and Cost of Goods Sold and a credit to Purchases and Inventory. But it is not balancing and I cannot figure out where I am going wrong or if I'm missing something. here's what I have:
Inventory (ending) 64,500
Purchase Expense 131,000
Cost of goods Sold 117,500
Returns 11,300
Inventory (beginning) 51,000
Cost of goods sold was found via: 51,000 + 131,000 64,500 = $117,500
