Why is it more difficult to account for the inventory of a manufacturing firm than for that of a merchandising firm?

1 answer

Because in a manufacturing firm the inventory is being manufactured. The stock is not purchased whole but by parts.

Compare and contrast what needs to be inventoried in each case.
