The agreement states that commission of 25% will be provided to Rodgers for all sales. What amount of net inventory on consignment remains on the balance sheet at the end of the year for Fall?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$5100

The cost of the inventory in $25000 and the cost of shipping it to the consignee, $500.

The cost of marketing brochures an comissions are recognized as expense and do not affect inventory.  If 80% of the inventory was sold, 20% remains, which will have a carrying value of $25,500 X 20% = $5100
