Remuneration paid for services is called commission. Commission is always paid on sales. Over-riding commission is an extra commission allowed to the consignee in addition to the normal commission. Such additional commission is generally allowed:
(i) To provide additional incentive to the consignee for the purpose of introducing and creating a market for a new product
(ii) To provide incentive for supervising the performance of other agents in a particular area
(iii) To provide incentive for ensuring that the goods are sold by the consignee at the highest possible price.
Here Ram, the manager, is entitled to get a commission of Rs. 25 per article sold plus ¼th of the amount by which the gross sales proceeds less total commission there on exceed a sum at the rate of Rs. 125 per article sold. Ram sold 450 articles at Rs. 73,800.
Articles sold = 450
So basic commission = 450 × 25 = 11,250.
Let the total commission be x (say)
Extra commission = 1/4 (sales proceeds – x – 125 × articles sold) = 1/4 of (73,800 – x – 125 × 450)
Or x – 11250 = 1/4 (17,550 – x)
Or x – 11250 = 4,387.5 – x/4
Or x + x/4 = 4,387.5 + 11,250 = 15,637.5
Total commission = x = Rs. 12,510
