Explanation:

1. Purchase of Inventory ($302000)

This transaction has occurred on account which means that payment was not made immediately but would be made at a future date, thus a creditor to the business.

Debit : Purchases account : $302000

Credit : Accounts Payables account : $302000

2. Sale of inventory ($504000)

The sale of inventory requires two separate transactions. The sale is accounted and along with this, the amount of inventory sold would also have to be accounted as an asset reduction.

A. To reduce inventory:

Debit : Cost of Sales account : $327000

Credit : Inventory account : $327000

B. Record the sale:

Debit : Accounts Receivables account : $504000

Credit : Sales account : $504000

This too is a sale on account which means that a debtor has been incurred who will pay for the sale at a later date.
