Three of these transactions were appropriate, and three were not. Determine which are ok and which are
not ok.

Goods were sold and shipped in late 20X5, but the product still requires substantial installation and
setup services. The price and terms of sale stipulate that seller must satisfactorily complete all installation and setup at the buyers location.
(2)
Goods were produced according to a customer purchase order, but had not yet been shipped by
the end of 20X5.
(3)
Goods were delivered to customers during early 20X5, but the customers had ordered and paid for
the goods during 20X4.

provided in 20X6.
