No, no revenue is recorded for items shipped FOB destination until those items reach the buyer.

Explanation:

In this scenario the buyer has not received the good so ownership has not transferred hands. According to shipping FOB terms, till the buyer actually recieves the goods they are technically still the property of FY world.

So Wally will not be able to record revenue against this sale. Rather he will still recognise the merchandise as part of the companie's inventory.

When the buyer recieves the goods he can now record the revenue from the sale.
