Explanation:

The perpetual inventory system is one in which the balance of inventory in the account is adjusted immediately there is a purchase or a sale of inventory. When inventory is sold, two actions are required under this system.

This is done by debiting the cost of goods sold account and crediting the inventory account with the cost of the item sold.

This is done by crediting inventory with the amount of sale (received from or agreed with the customer) and debiting cash or accounts receivables.
