Purchase on account increases current liabilities, the cost of merchandise purchased but not yet sold is reported in the inventory (current . assets ) and according to cost principles,it's reported on the balance sheet at the end of amount paid to obtain purchase, not at its selling price. Cost of goods sold is reported when the sales revenue of goods sold are reported If the company overstates it's inventory it will be also overstating its net income. As well as its current assets, retained earnings. Since the overstated amount of inventory at the end of one accounting period becomes the beginning inventory of the following period

When a customer makes a purchase "on account," it means they do not make an instant payment to the provider but instead purchase products or services from them. Instead, the customer commits to paying the provider at a later time, usually within a predetermined timeframe or on predetermined circumstances. This sentence sums up how a purchase affects your account: Asset Gain: Depending on the kind of the acquisition, the company's inventory or supply will rise. This is so that the business now owns the products it bought from the provider. Increase in Liabilities: There will also be a commensurate rise in accounts payable. The amount owing to the supplier for the purchase is represented by the liability account known as accounts payable. It shows how the business must eventually pay the provider.

On account is an accounting term that denotes partial payment of an amount owed or the purchase/sale of merchandise or a service on credit. For example, if a firm purchases $5,000 worth of merchandise on account, this refers to the purchase of the goods on credit and a deferral of payment.
