Graham Inc. is a merchandiser which uses the perpetual inventory system. On January 1, it sold inventory costing $1,000 for $4,000 on account. Question: Assuming no other entries have yet occurred during the year, after making the required journal entry(ies) to record the above sale, what should be the account balances in the "Sales Revenue" and "Cost of Goods Sold" accounts? Answer: The "Sales Revenue" account should have an account balance of $__________ and the "Cost of Goods Sold" account should have a balance of $___________. .
