Answer:
Amount to report in the balance sheet =
a. $1,325,000
Explanation:
The balance in the account was $1,200,000
Adjustments:
In transit goods, shipped FOB shipping point = $85,000
Lost in transit goods, shipped FOB shipping point = $40,000
Total = $1,325,000
The shipping terms determine when liability for goods in transit pass to the buyer and if the buyer should include the goods in its own Ending Inventory and adjust its Accounts Payable respectively. The liability for goods in transit passes to the buyer if the FOB is shipping point. The liability does not pass to the buyer if the FOB is destination.
