Question

Rao & Co. sent goods worth Rs. 10,000 on consignment to their agent Mehta & Co. of Bombay at proforma invoice price of cost plus 20%. Rao & Co. paid Rs. 500 as expenses. Mehta & Co. sent advance of Rs. 6,000 and net carriage Rs. 600. Other expenses Rs. 400. Mehta & Co. sold all the goods for Rs. 18,500 and they are entitled to 5% commission.
Prepare necessary ledger accounts in the books of Rao & Co.

Accepted Answer

> [!TLDR]
> Against sales of Rs. 18,500 we charge the cost of goods Rs. 10,000, consignor's expenses Rs. 500, consignee's expenses Rs. 1,000 (carriage 600 + other 400) and commission Rs. 925 (5% of 18,500). Consignment profit = Rs. 6,075. As every unit was sold there is no closing stock, so the proforma invoice loading (cost + 20%) fully cancels and profit is the same as on cost.
