During the last month, their dollar volume of sales, on which the bonuses are based, was nearly equal. 0n the last day of the month, both made a large sale. Both orders were shipped on the last day of the month and both were received by the customer on the lth of the following month. Hanna's sale was FOB shipping point, and Claudia's was FOB destination. The company counts sales for purposes of calculating bonuses on the basis of credit terms. Therefore, who (or, both) would be given the bonus?
