    If the question says that a company sells goods for $1000 and makes it sales through an agent who is entitled to 10% commission. Goods are not refundable and there is no sales tax.

    The accounting entries in the books of the Co. will be :

    Cr Revenue $1000
    Dr Cash $900
    Dr Commission paid $100

    Accounting entries in the agent’s book :

    Dr Cash $1000
    Cr Revenue $100
    Cr Payable $900

    Is this correct?
