Explanation of Solution
Purchase of inventory:
- Purchases (stockholders equity) are increased. Thus, purchases are debited with $1,160.
- Accounts Payable (liabilities account) is increased. Thus, it is credited with $1,160.
Sale of inventory:
- Accounts receivable (Asset Account) is increased. Thus, it is debited with $2,600.
- Sales revenue (Stockholders Equity account) is increased. Thus, it is credited with $2,600.
Transferring the beginning inventory to Cost of Goods Sold:
- Cost of goods sold (Stockholders Equity account) is increased. Thus, it is debited with $560.
- Inventory (Asset account) is decreased. Thus, it is credited with $560.
Transferring the purchases to Cost of Goods Sold:
- Cost of goods sold (Stockholders Equity account) is increased. Thus, it is debited with $1,160.
