On July 5, Horwath Company purchased on account a shipment of sheet steel from Northwest Steel, Co. The invoice price was $195,000, F.O.B. shipping point. Shipping cost from the steel mill to Horwath’s plant was $10,000, which was paid directly to the shipping company. When inspecting the shipment, the Horwath receiving clerk found several flaws in the steel. The clerk informed northwest’s sales representative of the flaws, and after some negotiation, Northwest granted an allowance of $9,000.
