becker pass master FAR 2, #91

On 12/28/90, Kerr MFG Co. purchased goods costing $50,000. the terms were FOB destination. Some of the costs incurred in connection w/ the sale and elivery of the goods were as follows:

Packaging for shipment...................$1,000
Shipping........................................1,500
Special handling charges..................2,000

These goods were received on 12/31/90. In Kerr's 12/31/90 BS, what amt of cost for these goods should be included in inventory?

Answer: $50,000

If shipment is considered FOB destination, that means the buyer will record inventory on their books when actually received. Shouldn't the cost of shipping of bringing the goods in be recorded as part of inventory also?

Because the selling holds title during shipping, it is assumed that they will also be responsible for all costs of shipping.

Conversely, FOB shipping point will have the buyer pay for the costs of shipping.

As always, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Based on what you've said above I agree that the answer would be $50,000. With FOB destination, the seller is to ship the goods to the destination at the seller's expens. The buyer will include the cost of the goods in inventory upon recipt.
