Determine the correct inventory amount to be reported in Kwok's 2011 balance sheet.

Explanation / Answer

FOB shipping point means the goods transfer title at the shipping point; FOB destinations mean they don't pass title until they hit the customers shipping dock. So the inventory would be adjusted by transactions 2 and 3. 167,000 +21,000+24,000= 212,000.
