Cutter Company, a distiller of liquors, ages its whiskeys for approximately 10 years. The firm must pay the costs to produce the whiskey and to store it during the aging process. Using the whiskey as collateral, Cutter could borrow to finance the costs incurred during the aging process; doing so would, however, lead to Cutter reporting increased liabilities. Instead, Cutter sells the whiskey to a
bank and agrees to oversee the aging process on the bank's behalf. At the completion of the aging, Cutter assists the bank in finding a buyer but is not responsible for ensuring that a sale occurs at a specific price, or at all. Under this arrangement, the bank bears the risk of changes in selling prices for the whiskey. Cutter will probably treat this transaction as a(n)

d. sale, with no incremental debt on the balance sheet.
