1. Goods shipped on consignment by Smart to another company will be included in the taking of a physical inventory.  This is  because the company retains the ownership of the  goods until  the goods is sold. If the goods still remain in the store of the consignee, such goods will be regarded as part of inventory of Smart Company.

2. Goods in transit from a supplier shipped on FOB destination will be excluded to pyhsical inventory of Smart company. FOB destination means that the title or ownership of the goods will be transferred only when goods reach destination. since the goods is yet to be received by Smart company, it cannot claim onwership
