MEANING OF CONSIGNMENT
jncreasing size of the market is making more and more difficult for the manufacturer or wholesaler
come in direct contact with customers living at far off distances Thi
. This has made imy fc
ti to enter into an agreement with a reliable local trader who can sell goods on his behalf and
atts (Principal) risk for an agreed amount of commission, Such a despatch of goods from one
to another person at a different place for the Purpose of warehousing and ultimate sale is
temed as consignment. Goods so sent are termed as ‘Goods sent on Consignment’, the sender is
ailed “Consignor” and the recipient is called “Consignee”.
a
For example if A of Mumbai sends 100 radio sets to B of Delhi to sell on his (4’s) behalf and
tihis (4's) risk, the transaction between A and B is a consignment transaction. 4 is the ‘consignor”
‘nd Bis the ‘consignee’.
Itshould be noted that in the above example, A continues to be the owner of the goods. B is
inply an agent of 4. He has not purchased the goods. He has agreed to sell the goods of to the
of his ability and capacity. He will, therefore, be responsible to A for payment only when he
sold away the goods. Of course, he will be reimbursed by A for any expenses incurred by him in
ining and selling the goods besides remuneration for selling the goods as per the agreed terms.
The main features of a consignment transaction can now therefore be put as follows:
()) Consignment of goods is not a sale It is mere transfer of possession of goods.
(ii) The consignee sells goods at the risk of the consignor. He is not responsible for any
loss or destruction of goods. ; a
(iii) The sale proceeds belong to the consignor and the consignee merely gets commission
i incurred.
and expenses that he might have i is that of a Principal and an Agent.

IMPORTANT TERMS
1. Proforma invoice It is a statement prepared by the consignor stating quantipy
price of goods. It is sent with goods despatched to consignee.
‘A proforma invoice is different from Invoice. 7
Invoice implies that a sale has taken place. It is a statement describing the goods ja.
the buyer and showing the total amount due by him to the seller. A proforma iny
statement of information in the form of invoice to apprise the party, who has not bow;
but shall be having their possession, or dealing with them, of certain essential particulars»,
Such an invoice in sent by the intending seller to his agent or the intending buyer belo
actually takes place. It does not show that the person to whom it is sent is indebted 10
2. Account sales It is a periodical statement rendered by the Consignee to the
containing details of goods received, sales made, expenses incurred, commission charged, c=
made and balance due by him to the consignor. The following is a specimen of an Ave

4. Direct expenses These are expenses which are incurred for placing the goods in,
condition. All expenses till the goods reach the godown of the consignee come in sy,
These expenses are of a non-recurring nature and increase the value of goods, Examples
expenses are freight, carriage, insurance, loading and unloading charges etc.
5. Indirect expenses These are expenses incurred after the goods reach the con
godown. They are of a recurring nature and do not increase the value of goods. Examples oj
expenses are godown rent, storage charges, advertisement expenses, salaries of salesmen, ex
The distinction between direct and indirect expenses is of special importance at the tn
valuation of the unsold stock. Direct expenses form a part of the cost and, therefore, a prop
such expenses is included in the cost of stock, while the indirect expenses do not form par

6, Advance The consignor may ask the consignee to deposit some money with hin»
kept by him as security in respect of the goods sent by him on consignment. It is usualy
percentage of the value of goods sent on consignment. For example, if the value of goods s
consignment is to be %50,000, and the consignee is asked to deposit (say) 10 per cent ofthe i
of goods to be sent, the amount of advance will be %5,000. This covers to certain extent ther
the consignor. The amount is adjusted against the amount due from consignee when the aso
Dr. 30,750
are finally settled. However, the consignor may like to keep with himself a certain percent
value of the goods lying with the consignee. In such a case advance will be adjusted only ie
extent of the proportionate goods sold.
Example. Goods of 750,000 are sent on consignment to A who sells away 50 per centalt
goods for 40,000. Consignor required that 10 per cent of the value of the goods should be
as an advance with him. 4’s expenses and commission amount to %5,000. The amount to bes
by A will be calculated as follows:
Sales Value of the goods a0
Less : Commission and Expenses 5,000 ;
Advance deposited 10 per cent of 225,000 2,500 1H
Amount to be sent by A 22
vt
Thus, 10 per cent of the value stock lying with the consignee Le, 82,500 out of initial #d™**
of €5,000 will still remain as advance with the consignor till these goods are finally sold:ment Accounts \

each of these consignments. ‘snment Account will be maintained in respect of
pricing of Goods Sent on Consignment
Goods can be consigned to the consignee either (i) at cost or (ii) at invoice price.
At oa Ch fn case of this method the goods are charged to the consignment at cost price to the
consigno! Pp ria invoice is also prepared at this price. For example if the goods costing
10,000 are purchased by A and 80 per cent of such goods are sent by him on consignment to
Mumbai, proforma invoice will show the value of goods as %8,000 and the Consignment to Mumbai
account will also be charged with this price. The consignee may be given the direction regarding
the price at which he should sell the goods (see Illustration 1.3).
At invoice price In case of this method the goods are charged to the consignment at a price
higher than cost. The proforma invoice also shows the value of goods at such higher price. The
excess of invoice price over the actual cost, represents the profit which the consignor intends to
make on the goods consigned. For example, if in the above case the goods are consigned at a profit,
of 25 per cent on cost (or 20 per cent on invoice price), the consignment account will be charged
with 10,000 (i.e., £8,000 + %2,000) for the value of goods sent on consignment. However, in order
to find out the profit, at the end of the accounting period, the consignment account will be gen
credit with the excess price so charged. In this case, the credit to the usa acco tN ve

VALUATION OF UNSOLD STOCK
Where all the goods have not been sold, it becomes necessary to value the unsold goods. Such
mods are similar to closing stock in case of a Trading Account. This stock should be valued at a
rice which will include:
(i) proportionate cost price; and |
(i) proportionate direct expenses, i.e., proportionate expenses incurred both by the
consignor and the consignee till the goods reach the godown of the consignee.
|i should be noted that direct expenses will include all expenses incurred by the consignor
While only such expenses of the consignee which are incurred by him till goods reach his godown,
“amples of such expenses are: carriage charges, freight, octroi, import duty, etc. paid by the
‘onsignee, Expenses like godown rent, selling expenses, insurance of the godown ete. paid by the
“rsignee, should be excluded.
Moreover, the fi am tal principle of accounting regarding valuation of stock should also
en into consideration he rrock chould be valued at cost or market price whichever is less.
Price stands for cost + proportionate direct expenses.
