Solution

The correct answer is A. Cash, Purchases. In a periodic inventory system, the account 'Purchases' is used to record the acquisition of inventory during the accounting period. The 'Cash' account is debited if cash was used to purchase the inventory. If the inventory was purchased on credit, 'Accounts Payable' would be used instead of 'Cash'. The other options are not correct because 'Sales' and 'Merchandise Inventory' are not used when recording a purchase in a periodic inventory system, and 'Accounts Receivable' is typically used when a sale is made on credit, not a purchase.
