In a recent post to Sylvie Su I found the following link very helpful.
http://www.accounting-basics-for-students.com/periodic-inventory.html
But when a new business is started, using periodic inventory, in which account is the opening inventory posted i.e. Asset or COGS?
At the moment my Income Statement is not showing Opening Inventory nor adjustment.
In my case I entered the opening inventory and year end adjustment in the Asset account.
