    Explanation:

    A periodic inventory system calculates the cost of inventory at the end of a period, say, a month. Therefore, physical count of inventory is undertaken periodically in order to value the inventory for financial reporting purpose. This means that the cost of goods sold is valued periodically unlike a perpetual inventory system.

    A periodic inventory system is unlike a perpetual inventory system that tracks inventory individually and is able to calculate the cost of goods sold after each transaction.

    The Purchases Discount is calculated as 1% of the balance after returning 8 game devices to GameGirl Inc. And this discount is received because payment was made within the stipulated 10 days.
