Expert Solution
Step 1

Under a perpetual inventory system transactions of purchases and sales are recorded through the use of technology.

Goods Can be purchased on FOB shipping, which means shipping charges will be paid by the buyer. 

alternatively, Goods can be purchased on FOB destination, this is when shipping expenses are paid by the seller. 

When the goods are purchased on FOB shipping the shipping charges are added to the cost of the merchandise and when the goods are purchased on FOB destination, then the expenses of shipping are not recorded in the books of accounts as these expenses are borne by the seller of the goods.
