Date   account         Item               terms              payable        Inventory

Aug 1  Gear Inc.       Equipment*   On account      $471             $471

Total                                                                         $4,730          $4,730

Because there is not enough room here, i just recorded the purchases as either equipment or supplies, but you can also record them in a more detailed manner.

  • Equipment: Kevlar kayaks
  • Supplies: paddles
  • Supplies: life vests

The payment terms are either on account or cash purchases. If the purchases are made on cash, they will not increase accounts payable.

Since this is a retailer, the items purchased are allocated to inventory, but in other cases they could be allocated to different departments, e.g. sales, manufacturing, etc.
