Brandon Schwartz · Answer 1

The adjusting entry is as follows

Cost of inventory A/c Dr $1,100

To Inventory A/c $1,100

(Being the merchandise inventory is adjusted)

The computation of the adjusted merchandise inventory is shown below:

= Inventory - Merchandise inventory on hand

= $15,000 - $13,900

= $1,100

While recording this entry, we debited the cost of goods sold and credited the inventory account for $1,100 each
