Answer:

D) the Merchandise Inventory account is debited for purchases of goods that the company intends to resell to customers

Under the perpetual inventory system, the inventory should be recorded immediately when the inventory is sold or purchased.

Merchandise inventory XXXXX

       To Account payable XXXXX
