    The company must record the acquisition of that inventory, including all the expenses related to the purchase and logistics, up to have them placed in the company's warehouse.

    Therefore, the journal entry to record those transactions are:

    Dr Inventory 8,200

    Cr Cash 8,200

    Notice that freight costs are not considered expenses in this case, as they are capitalized being part of the inventory cost.

    Income Statement: no change

    Balance Sheet: Inventory increased by $ 8,200

    Cash decreased by $ 8,200

    Net change: $ 0
