Step-by-step solution
7 stepsI will solve Illustration I, which deals with consigned goods that have been sold. I will calculate the balance due to JETAN after deducting expenses and commission.
First, let's calculate the total sales made by Alhaji Waziri.
Calculate the sales of Paraforce.
- 50 cartons at each:
- 60 cartons at each:
- 40 cartons at each: Total Paraforce sales:
Calculate the sales of Dragon.
- 35 cartons at each:
- 20 cartons at each:
- 25 cartons at each: Total Dragon sales:
Calculate the total gross sales.
Total gross sales = Total Paraforce sales + Total Dragon sales
Calculate the agent's commission.
Commission is 5% on total sales.
Calculate the total expenses incurred by the agent.
- Transportation charges:
- Distribution expenses:
- Off-Loading expenses:
- Insurance:
- Warehouse up-keep: Total expenses:
Calculate the total amount due to JETAN.
Total amount due = Total gross sales - Agent's commission - Total expenses
Account for the bill of exchange.
JETAN drew a bill of exchange for 70% of the value of the goods consigned. The pro-forma invoice price for Paraforce was per carton and Dragon was per carton.
Number of cartons consigned:
Paraforce: 50 + 60 + 40 = 150 cartons
Dragon: 35 + 20 + 25 = 80 cartons
Total value of goods consigned at pro-forma invoice price:
Paraforce:
Dragon:
Total pro-forma value:
Value of bill of exchange:
JETAN also incurred loading and haulage expenses of and respectively, which are in total. These are initial expenses by the consignor. The question states "Alhaji Waziri honored the bill JETAN incurred loading and haulage expenses of N7,000 and N4,000 respectively." This implies these expenses were part of the bill or settled by Waziri. However, the prompt asks for the balance due to JETAN after deducting the following expenses (which are agent's expenses). The bill of exchange is a payment already made by the consignee to the consignor.The balance due to JETAN is the amount Alhaji Waziri needs to remit after all deductions. The bill of exchange was already honored by Alhaji Waziri. Therefore, this amount should be deducted from the total amount due to JETAN.
Balance due to JETAN = Total amount due - Bill of exchange
The final balance due to JETAN is .
