During the first quarter, the company purchased two batches of goods: 700 Units at $44 on February 21 and 800 units at $50 on March 28. Sales during the first quarter were 1,400 units at $75 per unit. The White Company uses a periodic inventory system.

1/2/20X3 Purchases on account: 500 units @ $6 = $3,000
1/15/20X3 Sales on account: 300 units @ $8.50 = $2,550
1/20/20X3 Purchases on Account: 200 units @ 5 = $1,000
1/25/20X3Sales on Account: 300 units @ $8.50 = $2,550
The company president examined the computer-generated journal entries for these transactions and was confused by the absence of a Purchases account.
