5. Larson Inc. manufactures consumer goods and operates a series of separate outlets through contractual agreements.

One of the companies with which it enters into contractual agreements is GoTo, and all merchandise sold through these outlets is at Larson’s risk with respect to inventory and credit risk; Larson pays GoTo a commission. Prices are determined by Larson Inc.

During 2019, Larson Inc. has the following information:

The total sales price of merchandise sold by Larson through GoTo during 2019 was $4,750,000.
Larson paid GoTo commissions totaling $800,000 for these items during 2019.
Which of the following statements is most likely to be true regarding the information above?

A. GoTo should report USD4,750,000 revenue on its 2019 income statement.

B. GoTo should report USD800,000 revenue on its 2019 income statement.

C. GoTo should report USD3,950,000 revenue on its 2019 income statement.

Correct Answer: B

Answer Explanation:

In this example, Larson is the principal because it has primary responsibility for all inventory risk or credit risk and can set its own prices; GoTo is the agent. Since GoTo is the agent, it should report revenue equal to the $800,000 commission on its income statement.
