ERROR In 2 b only---- all other answers are perfect. 1. Tablet Direct sales terms are FOB Destination ie. Sale occurs (& revenue is recognised by the seller) only when goods arrive at the buyer's receiving point 2a…   1&3 Balance sheet: $ 29500 reported as inventory Income statement:No amounts related to this transaction 2b.. 3 & 6 Income statement: no amounts related to this transaction Balance sheet : no amounts related to this transaction 3.. FOB Shipping point ie. Sale occurs at the seller's shipping point --when goods are shipped . So, Tablet Direct includes the goods shipped on Dec.29 in his inventory balance as on Dec.31
