    Credit Cash account $40,600

    Explanation:

    The initial recognition of inventory is to be done including all the cost incurred in bring inventory to the place of use or storage. These includes freight and the cost of the item. When inventory is purchased on account, entries required are Debit Inventory, credit account payable. Where cash is paid, the debit is same but the credit entry is posted to the cash account.

    Hence total cost incurred (which is the cost of inventory)

    = $40,000 + $600

    = $40,600
