N171,525\text{N}171,525

Step-by-step solution

7 steps

I 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.

  1. Calculate the sales of Paraforce.

    • 50 cartons at N3,000\text{N}3,000 each: 50×N3,000=N150,00050 \times \text{N}3,000 = \text{N}150,000
    • 60 cartons at N2,700\text{N}2,700 each: 60×N2,700=N162,00060 \times \text{N}2,700 = \text{N}162,000
    • 40 cartons at N2,600\text{N}2,600 each: 40×N2,600=N104,00040 \times \text{N}2,600 = \text{N}104,000 Total Paraforce sales: N150,000+N162,000+N104,000=N416,000\text{N}150,000 + \text{N}162,000 + \text{N}104,000 = \text{N}416,000
  2. Calculate the sales of Dragon.

    • 35 cartons at N2,000\text{N}2,000 each: 35×N2,000=N70,00035 \times \text{N}2,000 = \text{N}70,000
    • 20 cartons at N1,700\text{N}1,700 each: 20×N1,700=N34,00020 \times \text{N}1,700 = \text{N}34,000
    • 25 cartons at N1,900\text{N}1,900 each: 25×N1,900=N47,50025 \times \text{N}1,900 = \text{N}47,500 Total Dragon sales: N70,000+N34,000+N47,500=N151,500\text{N}70,000 + \text{N}34,000 + \text{N}47,500 = \text{N}151,500
  3. Calculate the total gross sales.

    Total gross sales = Total Paraforce sales + Total Dragon sales

    N416,000+N151,500=N567,500\text{N}416,000 + \text{N}151,500 = \text{N}567,500
  4. Calculate the agent's commission.

    Commission is 5% on total sales.

    5%×N567,500=0.05×N567,500=N28,3755\% \times \text{N}567,500 = 0.05 \times \text{N}567,500 = \text{N}28,375
  5. Calculate the total expenses incurred by the agent.

    • Transportation charges: N4,600\text{N}4,600
    • Distribution expenses: N1,700\text{N}1,700
    • Off-Loading expenses: N3,400\text{N}3,400
    • Insurance: N2,300\text{N}2,300
    • Warehouse up-keep: N3,500\text{N}3,500 Total expenses: N4,600+N1,700+N3,400+N2,300+N3,500=N15,500\text{N}4,600 + \text{N}1,700 + \text{N}3,400 + \text{N}2,300 + \text{N}3,500 = \text{N}15,500
  6. Calculate the total amount due to JETAN.

    Total amount due = Total gross sales - Agent's commission - Total expenses

    N567,500−N28,375−N15,500=N523,625\text{N}567,500 - \text{N}28,375 - \text{N}15,500 = \text{N}523,625
  7. 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 N2,500\text{N}2,500 per carton and Dragon was N1,600\text{N}1,600 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: 150×N2,500=N375,000150 \times \text{N}2,500 = \text{N}375,000
    Dragon: 80×N1,600=N128,00080 \times \text{N}1,600 = \text{N}128,000
    Total pro-forma value: N375,000+N128,000=N503,000\text{N}375,000 + \text{N}128,000 = \text{N}503,000
    Value of bill of exchange: 70%×N503,000=0.70×N503,000=N352,10070\% \times \text{N}503,000 = 0.70 \times \text{N}503,000 = \text{N}352,100
    JETAN also incurred loading and haulage expenses of N7,000\text{N}7,000 and N4,000\text{N}4,000 respectively, which are N11,000\text{N}11,000 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

    N523,625−N352,100=N171,525\text{N}523,625 - \text{N}352,100 = \text{N}171,525

    The final balance due to JETAN is N171,525\text{N}171,525.
