On January 1, 2007 the Hadad Company entered into a consignment agreement with the Trinidad Company. The agreement specifies that the consignee (Trinidad) is to sell the merchandise at a price of 30% above cost. Trinidad is required to pay Hadad the net sales price within 15 days of each sale to a third party. The net sales price is defined as the sales price, less any advertising costs incurred by Trinidad, and less a commission of 10% deducted from the sales price less the advertising costs. Hadad pays any costs incurred in shipping the merchandise to Trinidad.
In 2007 Hadad shipped merchandise costing $300,000 to Trinidad and incurred delivery costs of $8,000. During the year (through December 15), Trinidad made sales of $195,000 and incurred advertising costs of $15,000, and paid the required amount to Hadad. On December 31, 2007, Hadad phoned Trinidad and was told that since December 15 additional sales of $39,000 had been made and advertising costs of $3,000 incurred. (Record this information in separate journal entries.)
