๐ Introduction to Inventory Systems
The video script introduces the concept of inventory systems, a key topic in accounting. It distinguishes between two types of inventory systems: the periodic inventory system, typically used by small businesses due to its simplicity and lack of requirement for computer systems, and the perpetual inventory system, preferred by larger companies that utilize computers or software to track inventory in real-time. The script emphasizes the importance of understanding these systems to analyze a given question paper on the topic.

This paragraph delves into the differences between the two inventory systems. The periodic system records cost of sales at the year's end using a manual formula, which involves calculating the cost of sales based on opening stock, purchases, and returns. In contrast, the perpetual system uses computer software to record cost of sales at the point of sale, eliminating the need for year-end calculations. The script also highlights the practical aspects of these systems, such as the use of a handbook by small businesses and the automated processes of larger companies.

The script provides a step-by-step guide to calculating the total purchases for a small business using a periodic inventory system. It includes various transactions such as direct purchases, refunds for spoiled goods, personal withdrawals, and additional stock purchases.

The paragraph outlines the process of drafting a trading account for a business, focusing on the year-end financial statements. It includes details such as sales, cost of sales, and gross profit, which are essential components of an income statement. The script also mentions additional services like extra classes for accounting students and the availability of a study guide in soft copy format, emphasizing the importance of preparation for upcoming exams.

term three topic H which we are going to
cover together with a cash budget as
well as uh cost accounting which is
known as manufacturing so the question
paper that I have here uh is going to
deal with inventory system okay so
because uh this is the first video that
I did in
2024 for inventory system I'm going to
first explain to you uh what is the
meaning of invented system remember guys
when we said inventory you know it from
your balance sheet as you did it on the
previous term when we talk about
inventory guys we are talking about a
stock so in accounting we have a system
that you can record
that stock or that inventory okay we
have only
two we have
two inventory
system H number one you're going to have
a system which is
called
periodic inventory
system system okay
then after that we're going to do some
different then number
two this is number
one H this is number two number two is
called
P to
inventory
system okay this is two inventory system
that you are going to deal with in
accounting
okay now we have to know the differ
between these two so that we can go to
our question paper before we go to
question paper guys we must know the
difference between these two okay let's
try to lay them down so that you will
understand H whatever that we are going
to do this site you will have some
knowledge okay when you see these two
invented system guys number one that you
need to identify is that periodic
invented system is
used by small
business small businesses okay for
example guys it's used by P
shop whereas a Perpetual inventory
system is
used
by a big
companies okay for example you can just
say h Shop
right all right that's the first thing
that you that must come in your mind
periodic is for small business Perpetual
is for big company now let's go to the
differ number two when it come to
Perpetual inventory
system this business have
computers
computers to record
a
stop or to record inventory in other
words computer or a software are the
only one that are going to count what a
stock but when it come to periodic guys
as shop does not have a software does
not have a computer they use what we
call a
handbook they use a
handbook or you can just say some notes
return by
pen to record a
stock that's what they do under a
periodic inventory system if you go to
the SP shop guys when you buy something
that person or the cashier is going to
write down that um this time we have
sold for cold drink but spa or shop
right they don't do that a computer is
going to
to do that so this different guys is the
main different that you need to know now
the last one which is more important as
well under Perpetual inventory system
when it come to treatment of cost of
sales cost of sales is
recorded cost cost of
sales is
recorded at a
point of sale in other words guys when
you buy at Shop Right if you buy at Shop
Right the software is going to record
the cost of sales of that cold drink
immediately at the point of sales but
when it come to periodic invent system
guys you have to wait for the year end
because inventory system periodic
inventory system record a
cost of
sales at the the year
end the reason why cost of sales record
a cost of sales at the year end is
because they use a
manual they use a
manual
formula to
calculate
cost of sales in other words guys when
you are asked about
Perpetual inventory system you will not
be required to calculate cost of sales
but periodic expect some calculation of
cost of sales because you're going to
use a formula to calculate what your
cost of sales a formula of cost of sales
it says opening stock plus
purchase minus
returns okay you can add a courage on
purchase then you
less a
closing St so you see that at a point of
sales under periodic you can calculate
what a cost of sales because a formula
require closing stock and closing stock
you have to wait for the year end to
count how many stock you have so under
periodic they do what we
call a
fiscal stock
count in other words they count talk by
one by one like one two 3 that's how
they count until everything is completed
okay but under Perpetual inventory
system uh a
software software or
computer is going to do the job just
like that that's the different that you
need to know about uh this to system now
let's go straight to the question paper
I hope you have some understanding okay
they say zakum return a small curious
job okay run is run a small curious job
called kumalo curious in St luia and all
items that are sold in the shop are
purchased from community members to
assist them in making an income to to
support their family okay then kumal
curious uses a periodic inventory system
to calculate the cost of sales now you
know that kumalo use a periodic and you
have understanding of what is periodic
okay
3.1 mention two possible reason that Z
choose to use periodic invent system why
choose a periodic guys instead of using
a perpetual
what could be possible reason number
one she does
not
have
computers guys if you don't have
computers there is no way that you can
use Perpetual because you're going to
need a software that is going to do what
to calculate everything ER automatic
then reason number
two uh is that she's running a small
business a
small
business so guys if you're running a
small business
ER remember computer are very
expensive and if you are making a profit
of 200 you can't buy a a computer that
is going to cost more than 10,000 it's
not going to make sense so it's a small
business okay so obviously the company
does not make a lot of money that's why
she
chose a periodic inventory system okay
3.2 calculate a business total purchase
for the year end 31 July 2022 all
right uh with have information number a
they give us a
balances okay they give us stock on hand
and we also have a purchase encourage
and purchase then the one that we are
going to take here is purchase because
we are calculating all purchase that
have been made in the business if there
is any written
donation uh we have to subtract them or
if there is a withdrawal we have to
subtract all purchase we add okay the
first purchase uh it was amount of
241 200 then we go to information number
B which is related to purchases number
one they said 5 larger wooden animal
Cravings were purchased from Mr mja for
350 each okay they purchase a five
larger wooden Animal by 350 in order for
us to get total how much Purchase cost
we have to multiply 5 by
350 uh which is going to give us 1,
1,750 okay moving to the next one
homemade h vegetable Piglet and Gem were
purchased from Mrs gasa for a total of
1,220 okay and they say unfortunately
four bottle of pet were spoiled and
could not be sold Miss gasa refunded Z
it for this spoiled item okay firstly we
must add what was purchased which is
1,220 but he refunded which we have to
subtract he refunded
this 8 is not for each they said for
this which means that for all four uh
spoiled items she refunded 80 okay which
means that one was costing 20 the next
one they
said Crocket clothing and clothes
purchased from Miss goom for
4,500
Zama took one of this item costing 250
for personal use okay firstly we must
add what was purchased and subtract a
withdrawal withdrawal personal use is
withdrawal it's not part of a purchase
we have to subtract it because she took
it for personal use it's no longer with
us as a business okay we're going to say
plus
uh amount is how much how much how much
4,500 then we minus we are just
continuing
minus um 250 for personal use okay and
the other stock item purchase from walk
in
sellers we purchase another one of
10,000
820 then we're done with purchase so if
you
calculate the total is going to give you
two 159 160
okay now the next
question uh they say that we have to
draft a trading account in The Ledger uh
for the year end 31 July
2022 okay before we go to the last one
account guys those who want to attend
our extra class extra class are still
available at only 100 um per month so

editing recheck and so on and so on so
now we manage to complete everything and
the guide for grade 11 accounting is
available unfortunately for now H the
guide uh which is available is only soft
copy the reason is because to make a
hard go guys h is going to make a study
guide very very expensive because the
cost of printing out the cost of making
delivery yeah is going to make a stud
guide costly according to the codes that
we try to do and going up and down and
so on and so on so the guide that is
available now is a soft copy which is
costing only 100 soft copy simply means
that it's in terms of PDF okay you can
just contact us on WhatsApp and make
your purchase and get questions like
this one which you're going to practice
for for for your test okay now let's
proceed to the last one a trading
account I hope you are following
remember the calculation that we did of
purchase we are still going to put it
here remember we have a purchase here so
now guys a trading account format it
does not change whatever that you see on
the debit side is going to be like this
for
credit side is going to be like this
forever it's like income statement we
start with sales cost of sales gross
profit every day even here it's going to
be like this okay this account amount
we're just going to transfer it here
which is
259 160 just like that and there's a
chocolate Mark here obviously whether is
correct or not they're going to give you
a mark okay now the next one is opening
opening balance guys it was given on top
they give us opening stock which is
23700 okay and carriage on purchase we
have it on the table it's
5,700 we need to check further
information which is number c
information number c guys they say due
to community members not always having a
transport to deliver item to the shop Z
often collect them from their home okay
courage on purchase that we put here
guys is courage on purchase not courage
on sales courage on sales is delivery to
customer it's not form part of car
purchase here we are looking for car
purchase only yes this one is related to
Caron purchase I'm just emphasizing okay
this this month she travel
three h 75
kilom and they said that Z has
calculated that her vehicle use
approximately 5 lit of petrol every 100
kilm you need to take what he travel
divide by is always 100 here and you m
by 5 L then you going to get amount
which you're going to multiply by a
current foil price is 26
40
26 foot the only thing that that change
here guys is how many kilometers she
travel
and this five five is depend on the
vehicle
guys that you driving so if you're
driving a small car obviously it's going
to cost to less but if you're traveling
more it's going to cost more okay and
here if you do this calculation you're
going to get a carage that you're going
to add which is for 95 and when you add
it together it's going to give you 6,1
95 just like that okay a closing
stock uh number D and E A total cash
taken for for the year amounted to 3
95200 that's a sales a total cash taking
is a sales okay then on 31 July Z
completed her annual stock take and
determine that uh the stock is valued
28,400
you see this is the last transaction
because she firstly count using hand how
many stock left she she use a hand
because it's periodic okay then she
found that the value is
28,400 now we are going to calculate
profit or loss as a balancing figure
obvious the higher side is this one okay
so this part is very simple we are going
to do it but guys if you EV subscribe to
this Channel please make sure that you
subscribe because if you're not part of
subscribers some of the videos they are
not going to appear on your side you
will just go to playlist you will just

made for those who subscribe so please
make sure that you subscribe so that
many videos can appear on your site and
the YouTube is going to recommend you
more videos so that you going to H watch
and learn Okay then if you calculate
this side H you will
get
423
600 H
423
600 and balancing figure you take this
one minus this one which is going to
give you profit or loss of 134
5 4 five and you just carry down this
balance 28 400 you carry down closing
