    Debtor and creditor

Cevap

The relationship between the consignor and consignee is that of principal and agent.
In consignment accounting, the consignor is the principal who retains ownership and risk, while the consignee is the agent employed to sell the goods for a commission.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the nature of a consignment transaction.
In a consignment transaction, the consignor dispatches goods to the consignee for the purpose of sale without transferring ownership.
Ownership and primary risks remain with the sender until the goods are sold to a third party.
2
Determine the legal relationship between the two parties.
Because the consignor acts as the owner and the consignee acts on their behalf for a commission, their legal relationship is principal and agent.
This distinguishes consignment from credit sales or partnership arrangements.
