Whenever a consignor sends goods to consignee at a price higher than the cost price, that is known as invoice price method. It is done if the consignor does not want to disclose the real profit to the consignee. The consignee will not be able to know the cost price if the goods are consigned at above price. Hence, he cannot find out profit or loss being made by the consignor on these goods.
For the goods consigned at invoice price, the entries in the books of both consignor and consignee will be same. But the following changes and adjustment entries are required in the books of the consignor for eliminating loading charge in goods sent, goods returned, unsold goods and abnormal loss.
