To record the inventory shrinkage.

Explanation:

Inventory shrinkage occurs when the value of physical inventory count is less than  the system-generated inventory value.  This may be due to errors, pilferage, damage, or shortage from the supplier.

To record inventory shrinkage, an inventory shrinkage account is debited while the inventory account is credit.  This reduces the closing inventory by the shrinkage and increases the cost of goods sold equally.

Temporary accounts are normally closed to the income summary at the end of an accounting period in order to determine the financial performance of the entity.  These temporary accounts are revenues and expenses.  The other balances are called permanents accounts and will be used to prepare the balance sheet, which shows the financial position of the entity.  They are not closed because it will be carried forward to the next accounting period.  They include assets, liabilities, and equity balances.

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.
