Solution

Under a perpetual inventory system, acquisition of merchandise for resale is debited to:

The Inventory account.

Here's why:

  1. In a perpetual inventory system, the Inventory account is continuously updated to reflect purchases and sales of inventory.

  2. When merchandise is acquired for resale, the cost of this merchandise increases the company's inventory. Therefore, the Inventory account is debited to reflect this increase.

  3. The other accounts mentioned (Cost of Sales, Purchases, Supplies) are not used in the same way in a perpetual inventory system. Cost of Sales is used to record the cost of items
