Solution

The correct entry under the perpetual inventory system for the credit purchase of 5 washing machines at 300perwashingmachineplusGSTof300 per washing machine plus GST of 30 each is:

Debit Inventory 1,500,debitGSTpaid1,500, debit GST paid 150; credit Accounts Payable $1,650.

Here's why:

  1. Under the perpetual inventory system, purchases of inventory are recorded directly into the Inventory account. So, you would debit the Inventory account for the cost of the washing machines, which is 5 machines x 300/machine=300/machine = 1,500.

  2. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) paid on the purchase is a separate expense and should be recorded in a separate account (GST paid). So, you would debit the GST paid account for the amount of the tax, which is 5 machines x 30/machine=30/machine = 150.

  3. The total amount you owe (to be paid later, since this is a credit purchase) is the cost of the machines plus the tax, which is 1,500+1,500 + 150 = $1,650. This amount is credited to the Accounts Payable account, which represents the amount you owe to suppliers.

So, the correct journal entry is:

Debit Inventory 1,500DebitGSTpaid1,500 Debit GST paid 150 Credit Accounts Payable $1,650
