Explanation:

a) Journal entries are made when transactions take place to recognize them in the books of accounts.  They show which account is debited and which is credited in the Ledger.

b) Under the perpetual inventory system, the purchase and return of merchandise are recorded in the Inventory Account in order to strike a continuous balance per each transaction.  It is unlike the periodic inventory system which records purchase and return of merchandise in the Purchases Account.  Inventory is then accounted for when a physical count is carried out at the end of the period.
