The computation of the ending inventory using the retail inventory method is shown below
Particulars Cost Retail
Opening Inventory(A) $63,800 $128,400
Purchases(B) $115,060 $196,800
Goods available

Sales at retail (D) $260,000
End, Inventory at Retail $65,200
($325,200 - $260,000)

Answer:
The normal balance of liabilities is a credit.
Explanation:
In the double entry system one account must be debited in order for the other to be credited.
There are different balances for each account. For the accounts with normal credit balance a credit causes it to increase while a debit decreases it.
For accounts with negative balance a credit reduces its balance while a debit increases its balance.
- Asset: Debit
- Expense: Debit
- Dividends: Debit
- Liability: Credit
- Owner’s Equity: Credit
- Revenue: Credit
- Retained Earnings: Credit
Liabilities are debt owed by a business. When payment is given out to settle a debt (a debit) it reduces to amount a business owes.
If more loans are collected (a credit) the liability figure increases.
So liability has a normal credit balance
