Dobbs Wholesale Antiques makes all sales under terms of free on board (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.

Under Dobbs' FOB policy, when should the company record a sale? Do you approve or disapprove of Dobbs' manner of deciding when to ship goods to customers and record the sales revenue and why? Suggest an alternative, better way of deciding when to ship goods
