X of Kolkata sends out goods costing 100,000 to Y of Mumbai at cost + ...
Calculation of Cost of Goods and Expenses:
- Cost of goods sent by X to Y = Rs. 100,000
- Cost at 25% = Rs. 25,000
- Total cost to Y = Rs. 125,000
- Consignor's expenses = Rs. 2,000
- Total cost for consignee = Rs. 127,000
Calculation of Sales and Commission:
- 3/5th of goods sold by Y = 3/5 x 100,000 = Rs. 60,000
- The remaining goods with Y = Rs. 40,000
- Gross sales of Y = Rs. 85,000
- Commission at 2% on sales = 2% x 85,000 = Rs. 1,700
- Net sales of Y after commission = Rs. 85,000 - Rs. 1,700 = Rs. 83,300
- 20% of gross sales less all commission exceeds invoice value:
20/100 x (85,000 - 1,700) > 100,000
17,060 > 100,000
Therefore, commission will be calculated on gross sales less commission, which is Rs. 83,300.
Calculation of Commission:
- Commission at 2% on sales = 2% x 83,300 = Rs. 1,666
- 20% of gross sales less commission = 20/100 x (83,300 - 1,666) = Rs. 15,527.20
- Exceeds invoice value of Rs. 100,000
- Commission will be calculated on Rs. 83,300
- Total commission = Rs. 1,666 + Rs. 1,417 = Rs. 3,083
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - Rs. 3,083.
