    Inventory in consignee: $ 22,005

    Consignor profit: $ 6,810.6

    Explanation:

    We must remember that the goods cost is the sum of all it was needed to get the inventory ready for sell:

    consigned goods: 88 x 490 = 43,120

    shipping cost 890

    Total Cost for Spencer 44,010

    44,010 / 88 freezers x 44 freezers at hand: 22,005

    profit on the consignor:

    sales revenue 44 x 710 = 31,240

    commission 6% (1,874.4)

    cost of good sold

    44,010 / 88 x 44 freezers sold: (22,005)

    advertising (240)

    installation cost (310)

    Profit 6,810.6
