Explanation:

In the periodic inventory, purchases of merchandise or raw material are not accounted for in the asset (Inventories), but are accounted for in the purchases account. At the end of the period, with the value accumulated there, the inventory set is made to determine the cost of sale.

When the inventory set is made, the physical count is made and the final inventory is determined, this final inventory is accounted for in the asset account (Inventories).
