Under the perpetual inventory method, two sets of entries are made when inventory is sold: one to record the revenue from the sale and another to record the cost of goods sold and reduce the inventory. The first entry debits (increases) Accounts Receivable and credits (increases) Sales Revenue. The second entry debits (increases) Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and credits (decreases) Inventory. The amounts are based on the selling price of the inventory and the cost of the inventory, respectively.
