Net profit: 52,500

Explanation:

Sales revenue 125,000 (Only recogniced by the sold goods)

COSG - 75,000 (Only recogniced by the sold goods)

Commission 12,500 (recognized even without being collected)

Freight cost - 10,000 (It's an expence of the period)

Net Profit: 52,500

The rest of goods given to consignee is an Asset (Consignment inventory) for 25,000

The avertising paid for by consignee, to be reimbursed $5,000 is a liability.
