Question

Garnett Co. shipped inventory on consignment to Hart Co. that originally cost $50,000. Hart paid $1,200 for advertising that was reimbursable from Garnett. At the end of the year, 40% of the inventory was sold for $32,000. The agreement stated that a commission of 10% will be provided to Hart for all sales. What amount should Garnett report as net income for the year?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: Garnett Co.'s net income is $7,600

Explanation:

To determine the net income we must first calculate the cost of goods sold and the commissions paid:

• COGS = $50,000 x 40% = $20,000
• Commissions = $32,000 x 10% = $3,200

Now we can elaborate the following income statement for Garnett Co.

Total sales                     $32,000

COGS                             ($20,000)

Commissions                 ($3,200)

Advertising expense     ($1,200)    

Net income                    $7,600
