Answer 1

Answer:

a) $22,010

b) $3,780

c) $25,790

Explanation:

a) In calculating the value of inventory still left, the total value needs to be calculated first,

= (80 freezers * $540) + $820 ( transport fees)

= 43,200 + 820

= $44,020

40 out of 80 freezers have not been sold so,

= 40/80 * 44,020

= $22,010

b) In calculating the profit, subtract the expenses from the sales

Sales = 40 * 700

= $28,000

= 28,000 - Cost of refrigerators - commission of 6% of sales - advertising - installation

= 28,000 - 22,010 - (28,000*0.06) - 180 - 350

= $3,780

c) The amount remitted by the consignor will be,

= Sales - commission - advertising - installation

= 28,000 - (28,000 * 0.06) - 180 - 350

= $25,790
