Question

Mogul Company ships merchandise to Ski Outfit in a consignment arrangement. The arrangement specifies that Ski Outfit will attempt to sell the merchandise, and in return, Mogul will pay to Ski Outfit a 15% sales commission on any merchandise sold. During the year, Mogul ships inventory with a cost of $100,000 to Ski Outfit. By the end of the year, $76,000 of the merchandise has been sold to customers for a total of $105,800. What amount of inventory will Mogul report at year end

Answer 1

Answer:

$24,000

Explanation:

According to the consignment accounting, it States that any inventory sent on consignment by the consignor to the consignee, belongs to the consignor until the inventory is sold by the consignee.

Regarding the above, Mogu company sent inventory costing $100,000 and out of this, only $76,000 has been sold. The remaining inventory still belongs to the consignor and the amount of this inventory is;

$100,000 - $76,000 = $24,000

Therefore, Mogul would report $24,000 worth of inventories at year end.
