Step by step solution

01

Raw material inventory

Raw material means the material used by the company to manufacture the finished goods. It is shown as the current assets in the balance sheet of the company. The purchase of raw material increases its balance in the company’s balance sheet.

02

Accounts payable

Accounts payable means the amount due to vendors for the goods or services received that have not yet been paid for. It is treated as the current liability in the balance sheet of the company. The purchase of raw material on account increases the balance of accounts payable on the liabilities’ side of the company’s balance sheet.
