Appendix 5B shows how to prepare a worksheet for a merchandising business.
The only learning objective for Chapter 5 is to prepare worksheets for a merchandiser.
The worksheet of a merchandiser is similar to the worksheet for a service business. The primary new account is the Inventory account, which must be adjusted based on a physical count, as discussed in the chapter. Also, the merchandiser’s worksheet carries the other new merchandising accounts (such as Sales revenue and Cost of goods sold).
Worksheet procedures are the same as for a service business. The sum of the trial balance amounts, plus or minus the adjustments, equals the adjusted trial balance amounts. Then we move the revenues and the expenses to the income statement and the assets, liabilities, and equity amounts to the balance sheet.
