is it true that when we purchase goods for resale capital decreases because purchases increases and profit decreases?

No.
At the end of the period when the profit is calculated the goods will either have been sold (and so profit will increase unless they were sold at a loss), or they will still be in inventory in which case the profit is not affected.
