Questions 23 and 24 are based on the following fact pattern.23. Grandma’s Superstore in Boise, Idaho, decided to start carrying frozen steaks to complement its wide inventory of non-food items. Grandma’s made a contract with Enos’s Slaughterhouse in Missoula, Montana in which Enos’s was to ship 500 8-ounce filet mignons to Grandma’s, “FOB Missoula.” Because it was cheaper, Enos’s had the goods shipped by a non-refrigerated truck from Dependo Carriers, Inc.
