Invoice Value of10% goods is 12500 so total invoice value of goods sent was rs. 125000 i.e. Cost of goods sent to B= rs. 100000, 75% of goods sold i.e. Cost of goods sold= rs. 75000. . . . . . . 25% of 75000=18250 So normal sale price=75000+18250=93250 but sold by for rs. 100000 i.e. Excess over invoice=6250. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Now commission= 10%of 100000 + 25% of 6250=10000+1562.50= 11562.50. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Thanks
