Anstead Co. is experiencing a decrease in sales and operating income for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2016. Ryan Frazier, controller of Anstead Co., has suggested that all orders received before the end of the fiscal year be shipped by midnight, October 31, 2016, even if the shipping department must work overtime. Because Anstead Co. ships all merchandise FOB shipping point, it would record all such shipments as sales for the year ending October 31, 2016 thereby offsetting some of the decreases in sales and operating income. Respond to the following questions: Is Ryan Frazier behaving in a professional manner? Do you think Ryan Frazier would have made the same suggestion if merchandise was shipped FOB destination point? If you were in Ryan’s position what would you suggest? Reply to one or more other discussions: Do you agree with the assessment of Ryan's behavior? Why or why not? Why do you think Ryan made this decision?
Dobbs Wholesale Antiques makes all sales under terms of FOB shipping point. The company usually ships inventory to customers approximately one week after receiving the order. For orders received late in December, Kathy Dobbs, the owner, decides when to ship the goods. If profits are already at an acceptable level, Dobbs delays shipment until January. If profits for the current year are lagging behind expectations, Dobbs ships the goods during December. Requirements Under Dobbs’s FOB policy, when should the company record a sale? Do you approve or disapprove of Dobbs’s manner of deciding when to ship goods to customers and record the sales revenue? If you approve, give your reason. If you disapprove, identify a better way to decide when to ship goods. (There is no accounting rule against Dobbs’s practice.)
