60000-69999 Merchandise for Resale or Redistribution

General

These account codes represent the direct cost of materials and outside services used by an auxiliary enterprise or service department to create products and services for which they receive revenue from external parties and university departments.

Merchandise for resale and redistribution account codes are:

  • Not synonymous with "cost of goods sold"
    In addition to materials and outside services, "cost of goods sold" would also include labor and overhead. Therefore, these account codes are part but not all of "cost of goods sold."
  • Typically associated with inventories
    Materials purchased are added to inventory. Materials used decrease inventory and are charged as an expense to these merchandise for resale and redistribution account codes. Expenditures for outside services to be resold or redistributed are charged directly to these account codes and do not involve inventory.

  • Only used when the auxiliary enterprise or service department will derive revenue from the resale or redistribution of the materials and outside services
    See (iii) for a detailed description.

  • Not used if the expenditure of the materials and outside services are passed through to another university department
    See (iv) for a detailed description.

  • Used to avoid double-counting and overstating of expenditures on a university-wide basis
    See (v) for a detailed description.

________________________________________

(iii) These account codes may be applicable to physical plant materials because the facilities service department will use the materials for projects in which it will receive revenue from other university departments. These account codes would likely NOT apply to landscaping supplies if the landscaping costs are centrally budgeted and not billed to other departments and the service department receives no revenue. In that case, landscaping supplies are a supplies expense, not merchandise for resale and redistribution.

(iv) These account codes are not used for pass-through expenditures to other departments. The transaction to pass through the expenditure uses the same account code as the original account code for both the debit and the credit so that the expenditure is charged to the final department and nets to zero for the pass-through department. When merchandise for redistribution expenditures are redistributed, they are redistributed with a different account code.

(v) For example, if telecommunications service department acquires cell phone service and includes a mark-up when recharging the cell phone service to cover administrative expenses, telecommunications should use merchandise for resale account code to acquire the cell phone service and the departments should use a services and supplies account code when being charged the cell phone service. Having a separate account code for merchandise for resale and redistribution allows one to determine total amount spent for cell phones service by the university.
