    a. 20,420

    b. 7,260

    c. 27,680

    Explanation:

    a. The computation of the unsold units is shown below:

    Cost of freezers (500 * 40) 20,000

    Cost of shipping (840 : 80 * 40) 420

    So, the total unsold units 20,420

    b. The computation of the profit for the consignor for the units sold is shown below:

    Sales (750 * 40) 30,000

    Less: unsold units (20,420)

    Less: Commission (30,000 * 6%) (1,800)

    Less: Advertising expense ($200)

    Less: Installation cost ($320)

    Profit $7,260

    c. The amount of cash is shown below:

    Sales (750 * 40) 30,000

    Less: Commission (30,000 * 6%) (1,800)

    Less: Advertising expense ($200)

    Less: Installation cost ($320)

    Cash $27,680
