2. My words.... Here I present basic aspects of consignment and joint venture accounting aspects .I wish that more people should become entrepreneurs. An ordinary Indian entrepreneur wishes to remain an honest entrepreneur and contribute to the development of nation,let us support entrepreneurs.. 3. What is consignment ?When a business person sends his goods to someone else so that the other person can sell it out. It is consignment. The first person remains the owner, but the second person takes the possession and sells out the goods on behalf of the first person. 4. Who is consignor / consignee?Cosignor = the person who sends the goods. He is the owner of the goods. He bears the risks related to goodsConsignee = who receives the goods. He tries to sell the goods on behalf of consignor 5. What is the difference between sale and consignment ?In sale, there is transfer of ownership. But in consignment, goods are sent, but ownership remains with the consignor and the consignee tries to sell the goods.In case of sale, goods generally dont come back. In consignment, unsold goods are taken back by consignor. 6. What is proforma invoice ?It is prepared by consignorit accompanies goods when goods are sent to consignee 7. What is account sales ?It is prepared by consignee.It shows the sales undertaken by consignee 8. What is the benefit to consignee ?Consignee gets commission on goods sold. Suppose rate of commission is 10%, and consignee sells out goods of Rs. 4 lakhs. The commission of consignee is Rs. 40000. Consignor is bound to pay this commission 9. What are consignment expenses ?There are many expenses incurred in the process of consignment. When goods are despatched, there are carriage, freight, insurance and other expenses. All the expenses are borne by consignor . 10. What is over-riding commission ?Over-riding commission is allowed by the consignor to the consignee to promote sale at higher price than specified or to encourage consignee to put more work in introducing new product in the market. 11. How to valuate stock ?Stocks (inventory) have to be valued at cost. Generally consignment is sent at invoice price. But the stocks have to be shown at cost. So when consignor is preparing final accounts, adjustment has to be made from the stock to arrive at cost price. 12. Example : A sent goods of invoice price 1200 to B. Which are lying in godown of B. What inventory will you show on 31/3/10? Invoice price is 20% above cost.Here we have to prepare stock reserve account to adjust for the profit element in stock.20/120 * 1200 = 200so 200 will be transferred to stock reserve account. Thus inventory will be of (1200 200) = 1000 only in real terms (at cost). 13. What accounts are prepared by consignor ?He prepares 2 accounts :1. consignment to XYZ account 2. consignee account 14. What accounts are prepared by consignee ?1. consignor account2. conignment inward book 15. What entries are made by consignor while despatching goods ?consignment account Dr. To Goods sent on consignment account 16.

21. What accounting entry will be made when consignee receives goods from consignor ?No accounting entry is required the consignee is not the owner of the goods, hence, no accounting entry is required.However, there is a book maintained by consignee, which shows the arrival of the goods. This is called consignment inward book. 22. What accounting entry is required when consignee sells the goods (in the books of consignee) ?Bank a/c Debit or Cash a/c debitto consignor a/c credit 23.

Solve this questionEekshwanku sent to Eklavya 1,000 pieces of goods on consignment basis; one piece costing Rs. 230. Eekshwanku sent Rs. 200 on packing, Rs. 400 on freight and Rs. 1,000 on insurance in transit. Eklavya paid octroi duty amounting to Rs. 1,200 and cartage Rs. 1,300 to bring goods to his godowns. In course of time Eklavya also spent Rs. 1,500 on insurance and rent of godown and paid Rs. 4,000 as salaries to salesman. Just before close of accounting period, Eklavya reported that he had sold 800 pieces at Rs. 300 per piece. Eklavya is entitled to a commission @ 5% of gross sales. 27. Consignment account

29. Calculation of closing stockWhile calculating closing stock, we add all the non-recurring expenses in the value of closing stockcost of stock 200*230 =46000 (200+400+1000+1200+1300)4100 * 200/1000 =820 total cost =46820 30. How to handle loss ?

  • There are two types of loss : 1 normal 2abnormal loss
  • we have separate accounting for these

31. How to adjust normal loss in consignment ?While calculating the value of stock on consignment, the cost is inflated to cover the normal loss. 32. 1,000 tonnes of limestone is consigned @20 per tonne, freight thereon being Rs. 4,000. the quantity sold is 600 tonnes and that unsold is 350 tonnes,there is a normal of loss 50 tonnes. Here cost of closing stock will be inflated as under :(cost) * unsold goods / total goods for sale=(20000+ 4000) * 350 / 950= 8843 answer 33. How to handle abnormal loss ?There are two possibilities:1. loss is insured2. loss is not insuredif loss is insured, the insurance company will pay the money. So create an abnormal loss account and close it from the money received from insurance company. If there is no insurance, the entire loss must betransferred to Profit and loss account 34. What is joint venture ?When two or more firms / individual join together to work on a project, it is called joint venture. It is not partnership, as it is just a project on which they are working together. 35.

42. When separate books of accounts are maintained for joint venture ?Here there are separate books of joint venture account. These books are maintained in the joint venture itself.

Details of the accounts :Joint Venture Account: just like Trading and Profit and Loss Account for the venture showing purchase of goods, expenses, sale of goods etc. Balance of this account will show profit or loss of business and is distributed between co-venturers.Joint Bank Account: separate bank account opened in the joint names showing receipts and payment of cash.Personal Accounts of Co-venturers: It is the capital accounts of the co-venturers showing, investment, entitlements, receipts and drawing by the co-venturers. 44.
