her inventory and finds that she has:
- 1,300 units (products) in her basement, 20 of which were damaged by water and cannot be sold.
- 350 units in her van, ready to deliver per a customer order, terms FOB destination.
- 80 units out on consignment to a friend who owns a retail store.
How many units should Emma include in her company’s period-end inventory?
Introduction:
FOB destination:
FOB destination stands for Free On Board destination. It is a term for selling the merchandise, under which the delivery of goods is completed when the goods are reached at buyer's destination. The goods in transit belong to the seller and seller bears the cost of transportation till the buyer's destination. In case of FOB destination, the goods in transit should be included in the seller inventory.
Consignment:
Consignment is a process of selling merchandise, where the seller sends goods to its agent for sale. In this process, the seller is called the consignor and the agent selling the goods on behalf of the seller is called the consignee. The unsold merchandises on consignment are included in the inventory of the consignor and not the consignee.
To Calculate:
The number of units in the period end inventory
Answer to Problem 1QS
Solution:
The number of units in the period end inventory should be 1,710 units
Explanation of Solution

Note:
- In case of GOF destination terms, the goods in transit belong to the seller, hence 350 units are added in the ending inventory.
- The unsold merchandises on consignment are included in the inventory of the consignor; hence 80 units are added in the ending inventory.
Hence, it can be concluded that the number of units in the period end inventory should be 1,710 units
