Answer:

The journal entry is as follows:

On January 1,

Purchases A/c                Dr.  $1,600

To  Accounts Payable A/c                 $1,600

In periodic accounting the merchandise inventor is not debited since merchandise is updated at the year end only.

Purchases account is used instead of inventory account in periodic system.
