Explanation:

We will debit our inventory for the amount of merchandise we purchased and any other cost needed to get it ready for sale in our stock.

In the case of the second purchase as the terms are shipping point the goods are ours from the moment their are loaded into the ship thus, we should pay the freights. This will be a necessary cost to get the inventory so we activate through inventory instead of declaring an expense.
