Mishima, Inc. indicated in a recent annual report that approximately $19 million of merchandise was received on consignment. Should Mishima, Inc. report this amount on its balance sheet? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

No, Mishima Inc. cannot report the consigned merchandise into its balance sheet as it has no control over it.

Step by step solution

01

Consignment sale

A consignment sale is a type of sale agreement in which the title and ownership of the merchandise remain with the seller (consignor). The consignee only takes responsibility for selling them.

02

Reporting in balance sheet

In the given case, Mishima Inc. is a consignee who has taken the responsibility of selling the goods. But the title and the ownership of merchandise do not belong to Mishima Inc.

Thus Mishima Inc. cannot report merchandise amounting to $19 million on its balance sheet.
