Cevap

The net amount payable by Musa to Kemi Merchants is ₦2,405,000.
Total sales generated by the consignee amount to ₦2,600,000 (₦1,800,000 credit sales + ₦800,000 cash sales). The consignee earns ordinary commission of ₦130,000 (5% of ₦2,600,000), del-credere commission of ₦45,000 (2.5% of ₦1,800,000 credit sales), and overriding commission of ₦20,000 (10% of ₦200,000 surplus above benchmark price), totaling ₦195,000 in commission. Because del-credere commission is paid, the consignee bears the ₦30,000 bad debt. Thus, the net amount payable to the consignor is ₦2,600,000 minus ₦195,000, which equals ₦2,405,000.
