In March 2021, the Phillips Tool Company signed two purchase commitments. The first commitment requires Phillips to purchase inventory for $101,000 by June 15, 2021. The second commitment requires the company to purchase inventory for $151,000 by August 20, 2021. The company's fiscal year-end is June 30. Phillips uses a periodic inventory system. The first commitment is exercised on June 15, 2021, when the market price of the inventory purchased was $85,500. The second commitment was exercised on August 20, 2021, when the market price of the inventory purchased was $120,500. Required: Prepare the journal entries required on June 15, June 30, and August 20, 2021, to account for the two purchase commitments. Assume that the market price of the inventory related to the outstanding purchase commitment was $140,400 at June 30.

For June 15,  Loss on purchase commitment = Signed value of inventory - Market value of inventory = $100,000 - $85,500 = $14,500

For June 30, Loss on purchase commitment = Signed value of inventory - Market value of inventory = $151,000 - $140,400 = $10,600

For Aug 30, Loss on purchase commitment = Market price of inventory at June 30 - Market value of inventory at August 30 = $140,400 - $120,500 = $19,900
