1. The company included \($20,000\) of inventory that was shipped F.O.B. destination.
2.The company included \($15,000\) of inventory that was shipped F.O.B. shipping point.
3.The company did not include \($25,000\) of inventory that was being sold on consignment by Johnson Sales, a consignment dealer. The inventory is located at Johnson Sales, but it was still owned by The Counter Company at the time of its physical count of inventory.
