    D.

    Cash $3,000

    Sales Revenue $3,000

    Cost of Goods Sold $1,000

    Merchandise Inventory $1,000

    Explanation:

    Perpetual Inventory system calculates the cost of inventory after every sale. Thus on the date of sale we must always recognize two things : 1. The Revenue incurred and 2. The cost of goods sold.

    The Journal Entries for the question you have provided will be:

    Cash $3,000 (debit)

    Cost of Goods Sold $1,000 (debit)

    Sales Revenue $3,000 (credit)

    Merchandise Inventory $1,000 (credit)
