I can feel your pain as I dislike Contacts and Sales..not strong in it and if i said something wrong – hopefully someone else can jump in and correct me. Here go….
By the way I am using Wiley. If you also have the Wiley Book then in the Wiley material (if you are using version 2013) – it's in the module for sales (27) Page 197.
I will try to explain this in my own words:-
When you are considering risk of loss, you would need to look at what the contract agreement is as there are two types of shipping terms used that is important for determining liability or risk of loss for goods lost or damaged in transit from the seller to the buyer.
FOB Shipping or FOB Destination
-FOB Shipping will be as soon as the good are shipped the risk of loss is transferred to the buyer.
-FOB Destination will be the transfer will be moved from shipper to buyer when the good reach the buyers destination.
So its not answer b as its not the shipping terms used by the party (things like you must ship it by air freight or us Fed Ex- that's what i assume that answer means in this question)
It would be answer d as on the contract it would specify which type of FOB the seller and buyer agreed too. Its a better answer than b.
