Answer:
As per the perpetual inventory, when item is a stock item, then only it's value is booked under Stock-in-hand at the time of Purchase. In this case, the posting in the GL Entry for Purchase Invoice will be as follows.
Account | Debit | Credit |
Creditors | 100 | |
Stock Received but not Billed | 90 | |
Tax | 10 | |
Perpetual Inventory doesn't apply on the non-stock item, and expense is booked for them as soon as Purchase Invoice is submitted. The posting in General Ledger for in this scenario will look like:
Account | Debit | Credit |
Creditors | 100 | |
COGS / Other Expense Account | 90 | |
Tax | 10 | |
