Remittance was made by the consignee for the amount due after deducting a commission of 6%, advertising of $200, and total installation costs of $330 on the freezers sold.

Required:
a. Compute the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee.
b. Compute the profit for the consignor for the units sold.
c. Compute the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee.

Answer 1

A. $16,195

B. $7,621

C. $23,816

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Computation for the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee.

Inventory value of the units unsold

First step is to calculate the Total inventory value

Inventory cost $31,500

(70 * $450)

Add Freight $890

Total inventory value $32,390

($31,500+$890)

Now let calculate the Inventory value of the units unsold

Inventory value of units unsold =($32,390 / 2)

Inventory value of units unsold =$16,195

Therefore the inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee is $16,195

b. Computation for the profit for the consignor for the units sold

Sales $25,900

(35 * $740)

Less Cost of unit sold ($16,195)

($32,390 / 2)

Less Commission ($1,554)

($25,900 * 6%)

Less Advertising ($200)

Less Installation cost ($330)

Profit for the consignor $7,621

Therefore the profit for the consignor for the units sold will be $7,621

c. Computation for the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee.

Sales $25,900

Less Commission ($1,554)

($25,900 * 6%)

Less Advertising ($200)

Less Installation cost ($330)

Cash remitted $23,816

Therefore the amount of cash that will be remitted by the consignee is $23,816
