Question

Adidea Corp. regularly buys merchandise from vendors. It just purchased 1,000 units on credit from one of its vendors. How will the company record this transaction?
The company will record the purchase as a debit to the inventory account and a credit to the ________ account.

Answer 1

Answer:

Vendor's account/ accounts payable

Explanation:

Merchandise is an asset to the company. An increase in assets is debited to that particular merchandise or inventory account.

Since the merchandise was bought on credit, liabilities will increase. An increase in liabilities is credited to the specific vendor's account who supplied the goods on credit.
