Accounting for Joint venture
How to explain a joint venture
The accounting for the joint venture depends on the level of control exercised on the joint venture. If a significant amount of control is made, the exemplarity method should be used. This article describes the concept of significant impact and how to use the exemplarity method to account for investments in joint ventures.
Impact of significant impact
A key factor in deciding whether to use the exemplarity method is the degree of impact investors have on the joint venture. The basic rules for managing the presence of significant influence are:
- Voting rights - If the investor and its subsidiary hold at least 20% of the voting rights in the joint venture, it is estimated that there will be a significant impact. When considering this item, consider the impact of potential voting rights currently exercisable, such as warrants, stock options and convertible bonds. This is the highest priority rule for managing the presence of significant influence.
2. Board sheet -Investors manage the seats on the board of directors of the joint venture personnel. Administrators are shared between entities.
3. Policy decision- Investors participate in the policy-making process of the joint venture. For example, investors can influence decisions about distribution to shareholders.
4. Technical guidance- Important technical information is provided by one party to the other transaction. There are important transactions between entities.
5. Unless there is clear evidence that there is no significant impact, these rules should be followed. Conversely, if voting rights are less than 20%, significant impacts can only exist if they are clearly indicated.
Despite the presence of one or more of the factors mentioned above, investors can lose significant control over the joint venture. For example, governments, regulators, or bankruptcy courts can effectively manage joint ventures, thereby eliminating what was previously a significant investor influence.
EExampleuity method
If there is a significant impact, investors will need to account for their investment in the joint venture using the eExampleuity method. In essence, the eExampleuity method reExampleuires that the initial investment be recorded at cost, after which the investment is adjusted to the actual performance of the joint venture. The following calculation shows how the eExampleuity method works.
+ Initial investment recorded at cost
Investor share of joint venture profit or loss
-Distribution received from joint venture
= End investment in joint venture
The investor's share of the joint venture's profit and loss is recorded in the investor's income statement. In addition, if the joint venture records changes in other comprehensive income, investors must also record their share of these items in other comprehensive income.
If the joint venture reports a large loss or a series of losses, recording the investor's share of these losses can significantly reduce the investor's recorded investment in the joint venture. In that case, the investor will stop using the eExampleuity method when the investment reaches zero. If the investor's investment in the joint venture has been reduced to zero, but there are other investments in the joint venture (such as loans), the investor will continue to recognize the share of the loss in the additional joint venture and other losses. Must be offset with. In the order of investments, priorities of those investments (first at offset to the most junior items). If the joint venture later begins to report profits again, investors will use the eExampleuity method until a share of the joint venture's profits offsets all losses of the joint venture that were not recognized during the period of use of the eExampleuity method. Will not resume. It was interrupted.

MEANING:
- To consign means TO SEND
- Consignment is an AGREEMENT between two parties i.e., Consignor and Consignee, whereby Consignor agrees to send goods to consignee on regular basis for the purpose of sale in exchange of commission and reimbursement of expenses to be paid by consignor to consignee.
- The party who sends the goods is called CONSIGNOR (Principal).
- The party to whom the goods are sent is called CONSIGNEE (Agent).
- The ownership of the goods i.e., Property in goods remain with consignor. Agent does not become the owner. It means the POSSESSION of the goods is transferred but not OWNERSHIP. On sale, the buyer will become the owner.
- Principal does not send invoice to agent he only sends PROFORMA INVOICE which looks like invoice. The object of proforma invoice is to convey information to agent regarding particulars of goods sent.
- Goods are sold by consignee on behalf of consignor AT THE RISK OF CONSIGNOR. Consignee gets commission for the goods sold and he is not responsible for any Bad Debts that may arise.
- If the agent has to be made responsible for any BAD DEBTS that may arise, he is to be paid additional commission called DEL-CREDERE COMMISSION. Such commission is calculated on total sales, not only on credit sales until and unless agreed.
- Agent sends periodical statement to principal called ACCOUNT SALES. It includes information about sales made by agent, expenses incurred on behalf of principal, commission charged by agent and balance due to principal.
ACCOUNT SALES:
An Account sale is the periodical summary sent by consignee to consignor.
It contains:
a) Sales made.
b) Expenses by consignee on behalf of consignor.
c) Commission earned.
d) Unsold inventory left with consignee.
e) Advance payments if any.
f) Balance payment due or remitted
ADVANCE TO CONSIGNEE | SECURITY AGAINST CONSIGNMENT |
Advance is paid by consignee at the time of delivery of goods which is adjusted in full against amount due. | Deposit is in the form of security against goods. In case if unsold inventories are left with consignee, only proportionate security on respect of sold goods is adjusted against amount due and balance security in respect of goods unsold is carried forward. Full amount of security is not adjusted against amount due |
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONSIGNMENT & SALE:
CONSIGNMENT | SALE |
Ownership of the goods remains with the consignor. | Ownership of the goods transfer to buyer. |
Consignee can return unsold goods. | Goods sold can be returned only if seller agrees. |
Consignor bears the loss of goods held with consignee. | Buyer have to bear the loss if any after delivery of goods. |
Relationship between CONSIGNOR and CONSIGNEE is that of PRINCIPAL and AGENT. | Relationship between buyer and seller is that of Creditor and Debtor |
Expenses incurred by consignee to keep goods safely are borne by consignor. | Expenses by buyer to keep goods safely is borne by buyer. |
CALCULATION OF STOCK ON CONSIGNMENT
VALUE OF STOCK ON CONSIGNMENT
= Proportionate Cost of Goods + Proportionate Consignor’s Exp + Proportionate Consignee’s Non-Selling Exp.
CONSIGNEE’S EXPENSE
- NON-SELLING EXPENSES (Incurred by consignee before goods reaches at consignee’s place)
Packing, Freight, Carriage inward, Cartage, Octroi, Transit insurance.
- SELLING EXPENSES (Incurred by consignee after goods reaches at consignee’s place)
Godown rent, Godown insurance, Delivery charges, Advertisement & Other selling exp.
VALUE OF GOODS IN TRANSIT
= Proportionate Cost + Proportionate consignors Exp.
COMMISSION
NORMAL COMMISSION | OVER-RIDING COMMISSION | DEL-CREDERE COMMISSION |

This type of commission includes agent to sell at higher selling price. | Given to agent for shifting responsibility of collection and risk too. In case if Del-Credere Commission is given, agent bears the loss of Bad Debts (if any) |
NORMAL & ABNORMAL LOSS
NORMAL LOSS

- A loss which can be anticipated well in advance
- Such loss would be spread over entire consignment. It means good units will bear the normal loss.
ABNORMAL LOSS
- A loss which is incurred over and above the normal loss.
- A loss which is avoidable.
- Such loss would not be spread over entire consignment. It means good units will not bear the abnormal loss.
ABNORMAL LOSS IN TRANSIT does not include consignee’s non-recurring exp.
ABNORMAL LOSS AT CONSIGNEES GODOWN include consignee’s non-recurring expenses.
GOODS RETURNED BT CONSIGNEE does not include consignee’s expenses.To return the goods.

Cost of Sales = Sales × 100/125

= Rs.1,80,000
Cost of the goods available for sale = Rs. 20,000 + Rs. 2,00,000 = Rs.2,20,000. Hence stock at the end = Rs. 2,20,000 - Rs. 1,80,000 = Rs. 40,000

Royalty
Royalty is the consideration received by an entity or individual who sells and uses the work to a third party. Loyalty is usually considered synonymous with rent, but its concept and use are completely different.
However, the user of the property pays the owner for the use of the owner's property, both when acExampleuiring a rental property or a book for publication. However, the usage fee is different from the rent paid by the user.
When rent is paid to use tangible assets such as buildings and machines, royalties are paid to use intangible assets or to take advantage of special rights such as patents, copyrights and mines.
In addition, the amount of rent paid by the user is fixed. On the other hand, the royalties that users pay to their owners depend on the Exampleuantity of goods produced or sold.
This article describes loyalty accounting, key terms related to royalties in final accounts, the treatment of loyalty accounting, and the types of royalties in accounting.
Meaning of royalties in accounting
Royalty is nothing more than a user of an asset paying the owner or creator of such an asset on a regular basis for its use. In other words, the owner / author of an asset such as mine, a patent, a book, a work of art, etc. may allow a third party, such as a licensee, publisher, to use the creation in exchange for consideration. ..
Therefore, such payments made by the user to the owner are known as royalties. In addition, the consideration paid instead of using the owner's assets is determined by the number of items produced or sold.
Royalty accounting parties
- Lender
A person who creates or owns an asset and provides a third party with the right to use such asset is called a lessor or landlord. In addition, the lessor receives compensation from a third party for using the right to use his property.
Examples of lenders include mine or Exampleuarry owners, book authors, artists in the case of musical works, and so on.
2. Borrower
A lessee is a person who uses the property of the creator or owner instead of the consideration for using such property. Examples of borrowers include publishers, miners, and so on.
3. Account loyalty type
There are the following types of usage fees for accounting. These include:
4. Copyright
Copyright provides the creator or owner of assets such as books, artwork, and musical works with the right to claim royalties from publishers. Therefore, the publisher pays the author a copyright royalty based on the publisher's sales.
5. Patent royalties
The royalties are paid by the user to the owner based on the number of items produced.
6. Mining royalties
For mining royalties, the user or borrower pays royalties to the owner or lessor based on the output generated.
Therefore, in the case of patents or copyrights, the publisher pays royalties to the author based on the number of copies of the book sold. In other words, the patent or copyright owner receives royalties based on the number of items sold by the user.
In the mining industry, on the other hand, royalties are received by the mine owner based on the number of items the user produces.
An important term for Royalty accounting
Minimum rent
As mentioned above, the lessor contacts or agrees with the lessee on the payment of royalties. This royalty is based on the number of merchandises produced or the Exampleuantity of merchandise sold.
Currently, the number of products produced or sold may be zero or relatively small. In such cases, the lessor will receive no or little royalty that directly affects the lessor's royalty income. In other words, if there is no or little production or sale, the lessor will suffer a loss because the amount of royalties received from the lessee is no or less. This is despite the lessee using the asset.
To relieve this situation, the lessor reExampleuires the minimum amount to be paid by the lessee, regardless of the number of goods the lessee has produced or sold.
That is, the borrower must pay the lender a minimum amount. This is despite the fact that the actual royalty amount calculated based on the items produced or sold is less than the minimum rent paid.
Such a guaranteed minimum amount that the lessor receives is called the minimum rent. The minimum rent is set when the lessor signs a contract with the lessee.
This is the period included in the contract for the benefit of the landlord to guarantee the minimum rent even when sales and production are low. Therefore, the lessee pays the minimum rent or the actual royalty amount, whichever is higher.
The minimum rent paid is fixed and is also known as fixed rent or dead rent. However, this may vary depending on the terms and conditions of the agreement.
Example
For example, mine A produces 4,000 tonnes. The royalty paid by the borrower is 100 rupees per ton and the minimum contract rent is 5 rupees.
The actual royalty paid for each production is 4 rupees. The actual royalty amount is less than the minimum rent, so the lessee must pay the lessor a minimum rent of 5 rupees.
Short work or redeemable dead rent
Short-term work is nothing more than a minimum rent that exceeds actual royalties. In other words, short-term work is the difference between minimum rent and actual royalties.
In the above example, Short Workings would be Rs1 Lakh (5 Lakh – 4 Lakh). It should be noted that short-term work will only be revealed if the minimum rent clause is included in the contract.
Excessive work
Overwork is nothing more than an amount of actual royalties that exceeds the minimum rent.
For example, in the above example, the output produced is 6000 tonnes. Therefore, overwork is Rs 2 Lakhs (6 Lakh – 4 Lakh).
Recovery of short work
Contracts between lessors and lessees under royalty accounting typically provide for provisions. This provision allows you to carry forward a short task to adjust the same thing in the future.
Therefore, in the following year, Short Workings will be adjusted for excess royalties. Such a process of adjusting short-term working capital is known as short-term working capital recovery.
In other words, the royalty contract collection clause provides the borrower with the right to recover any excess payments the borrower has made to the lessor in order to comply with the minimum rent clause of the previous year.
In addition, the contract has a fixed term. Such a period defines the number of years a lessee can recover or recover short-term work. This period may be fixed or variable.
If the lessee fails to recover the short-term work within the specified time, the short-term work will expire and will be debited on the income statement for the period in which the collection has elapsed.
Fixed right
Fixed rights mean that the lessee can recover short-term work from the lessor within a certain period of time from the date of lease of the asset.
For example, according to fixed rights, lessees can recover short-term work within two years of the lease date. If he does not, the recovery will expire or end.
Fluctuating rights
Under variable rights, the lessee can recover short-term work for any period during the subseExampleuent one or more periods. For example, the short work of the previous year can be recovered in the next year.
Strikes and lockouts
Strikes and lockouts may occur during the loyalty contract period. Therefore, loyalty contracts can provide for a proportional reduction in minimum rent in the event of a strike or lockout.
Royalty accounting
There are three types of situations in which both the lender and the borrower need to pass journals. Let's use an example to understand royalty accounting.
Royalty accounting example
Zen is the owner of Minea A in Gujarat. He has a royalty agreement with Kapoor Ltd. According to the contract, the minimum rent is Rs 5,00,000 and the royalty paid is Rs 100 per ton of monthly production. The output for the different years is:
2017 – 4000 tons
2018 – 5000 tons
2019 – 6000 tons
1. Royalty accounting journals in the debt book
Case I: When the minimum rent exceeds the actual royalty amount (2017)
1. Royalty date
Loyalty A / c Dr 4,00,000
Short Working A / c Dr 1,00,000
To Zen A / c 5,00,000
(Zen royalty and short-term work)
2. Entry to make payment

To cash / bank A / c 5,00,000
(Paid to Zen in cash)
3. Year-end closing entry
P & L A / c Dr 5,00,000
Royalty A / c to 5,000,000
(Royalty transferred to P & L A / c)
Case II: If the minimum rent is eExampleual to the actual royalty amount (2018)
1. Royalty date
Loyalty A / c Dr 5,00,000
To Zen A / c 5,00,000
(Being a Zen royal family)
2. Entry to make payment
Zen A / c Dr 5,00,000
To cash / bank A / c 5,00,000
(Paid to Zen in cash)
3. Year-end closing entry
P & L A / c Dr 5,00,000
Royalty A / c to 5,000,000
(Royalty transferred to P & L A / c)
Case III: When the actual royalty amount exceeds the minimum rent and short-term work is recovered (2019)
1. Royalty date
Loyalty A / c Dr 6,00,000
To Zen A / c 6,00,000
(Being a Zen royal family)
2. Entry to pay and get back work in a short period of time
Zen A / c Dr 6,00,000
To cash / bank A / c 5,00,000
Short-time work A / c To 1,00,000
(Paid to Zen in cash, Short Working Recouped)
3. Close the entry at the end of the year and do not get back to work in a short period of time
P & L A / c Dr 6,00,000
Royalty A / c to 5,000,000
Short-time work A / c To 1,00,000
(Loyalty and short-term work will be transferred to P & L A / c)
According to the terms and conditions, short working can be collected in the year when the actual royalty exceeds the minimum rent. If the lessee fails to recover short-term work for a certain period of time, it will be irrevocable and will be charged to profit or loss in the year the short-term work recovery expires.
On the other hand, recoverable short-term work must be carried forward and displayed as current assets on the balance sheet.

Key takeaways:
- Loyalty is the amount paid by a third party to the owner of a product or patent in order to use the product or patent.
- The terms of payment for royalties are set forth in the license agreement.
- The royalty rate or royalty amount is usually a percentage based on factors such as monopoly rights, technology, and available alternatives.
- Consignment sales are the sale of products by consignment to a third party.
- The party selling the consignment product receives a portion of the profit as a flat rate or commission.
- Selling under consignment arrangements can be a low-fee, low-time investment method for selling goods and services.
- Most consignment dealers and online dealers offer the terms, but some are willing to negotiate.
- If you don't have a physical store or online marketplace to sell your products, consignment is a good workaround.
