If there is not enough information to answer " right" or "wrong''. choose "Doesn't say".Passage OneInternet banking has many advantages for banks. It is much cheaper to service a customer who makes contact only by phone, interactive TV, computer or other terminals, doing without the expensive branch network. Nevertheless, with Internet banking, customers do much of the basic data inputting themselves, further saving staff time of banks. Banks can invest the saved resources of human power and capital on utilizing the information of its customers when they are transacting, i. e. to route, analyze, and integrate data into meaningful patterns. Processed customer information is and will remain to be an invaluable asset of banks. And there is an element of self selection by higher earning customers - the Internet banking customers tend to be those who are relatively wealthy and generate the banks' profits. These advantages therefore suggest that the Internet is regarded as an increasingly important commercial tool by a growing number of banks.51.

Such a credit can only be amended or cancelled with the consent of all parties to it, that is the applicant, the issuing bank, the intermediary bank, if any, and the beneficiary.Where the confirmation of an intermediary bank is added to an irrevocable letter of credit, the credit is a confirmed credit, or more exactly, a confirmed irrevocable credit, and such a confirmation constitutes a definite undertaking ofthe confirming bank in addition to the undertaking of the issuing bank.54.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. You should choose the best answer.Passage OneA revolving documentary credit is one by which, under the terms and conditions thereof, the amount is renewed or reinstated without specific amendments to the documentary credit being required. The revolving documentary credit may be revocable or irrevocable, and may revolve in relation to time or value.In the case of a documentary credit that revolves in relation to time, e. g. which is initially available for up to USD15, 000. 00 per month during a fixedperiod of time, say, six months, the documentary credit is automatically available for USD15, 000. 00 each month irrespective of whether any sum was drawn during the previous month. A documentary credit of this nature can be cumulative or non-cumulative. If it is stated to be 'cumulative,'any sum not utilised during the first period carries over and may be utilised during a subsequent period. If it is 'non- cumulative,' any sum not utilised in a period ceases to be available, that is, it is not carried over to a subsequent period. It must be remembered that under this kind of documentary credit and following this example, the obligations of the issuing bank would be for USD90,000.00, i.e. six revolving periods each for USD15, 000. 00. Thus while the face value of the documentary credit is given as USD15, 000. 00 the total undertaking of the issuing bank is for the full value that might be drawn.In the case of a documentary credit that revolves in relation to value, the amount is reinstated utilisation within a given overall period of validity. The documentary credit may provide for automatic reinstatement immediately upon presentation of the specified documents, or it may provide for reinstatement only after receipt by the issuing bank of those documents or another stated condition.This kind of documentary credit involves the buyer and the banks in an incalculable liability. For that reason, it is not in common use. To maintain a degree of control, it would be necessary to specify the overall amount that may be drawn under the documentary credit. Such amount would have to be decided by the buyer and the seller to meet their requirements, and would have to be agreed to by the issuing bank.61. What's the correct definition of revolving documentary credit?A. A revolving documentary credit is one by which, under the terms and conditions thereof, the amount is reinstated without specific amendments to whichever kinds of credit the customer required.B. A revolving documentary credit is one by which, under the terms and conditions thereof, the tenor is extended without specific amendmentsto the documentary credit being required.C. A revolving documentary credit is one by which, under the terms and conditions thereof, the amount is renewed with specific amendments tothe documentary credit being required.D. A revolving documentary credit is one by which, under the terms and conditions thereof, the amount is reinstated without specific amendments to the documentary credit being required.62. "Ceases to" in Line 11 probably means __________________.A. "continue"B. "suspend to"C. "stop"D. "carry over"63. Which of the following statements is true?A. The revolving documentary credit may revolve according to the amount and time.B. A revolving documentary credit must be irrevocable.C. A revolving documentary credit must be revocable.D. The amount of a revolving documentary credit cannot be cumulated.64. When is the amount reinstated in the case of a documentary credit thatrevolves in relation to value?A. Just on presentation of specified documents.B. Only after the issuing bank receives those documents.C. Under the stated condition.D. All of above.65. The documentary credit that revolves in relation to value isn't commonlyused because ________.A. the overall amount that may be drawn under the documentary credit has been specifiedB. such credit involves the buyer and the bank in an incalculable liabilitiesC. it makes the issuing bank entail an incalculable liabilities.D. the documentary credit may provide for reinstatement immediately and automatically.Passage TwoPacking loan is a pre-shipment financing facility. The exporter can obtain packing loan from a bank when it receives the letter of credit issued in its favour. The money required is to finance the business between the commencement of the manufacturing process and the despatch of goods. This period is identical for the exporter. Usually, the finance available will not exceed 90% of the L/C amount. After shipment, the exporter can present the documents to a bank for negotiation, and repay the packing loan.For the security, the lending bank must keep in touch with the exporter, and urge them to dispatch the goods and present document in time. If the exporter fails to present documents after the expiry of the L/C, the bank will ask them to repay according to the terms of the loan agreement.66. The exporter can get packing loan from a bank when____________.A. the importer issues a L/C.B. the exporter presents the documents to the bankC. it receives the letter of credit issued in the exporter's favourD. it receives the letter of credit issued in the bank's favour67. "Commencement" in Line 3 probably means _______________.A. endingB. beginningC. implementationD. finish68. When does the exporter repay the packing loan?A. After shipment.B. Just after finishing the manufacturing process.C. Upon presentation of the documents to a bank for negotiation.D. Both A and C69. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Packing loan is a pre-shipment financing facility.B. The amount of packing loan will not exceed 90% of the L/C amount.C. Packing loan is just granted to the exporter.D. If the exporter fails to present documents after the expiry of the L/C, the bank will ask them to repay according to the terms of the L/C agreement. assage Three An option contract is a risk management or control tool designed to mitigate the effects of possible adverse movements in the price of a security or commodity. Depending upon the right acquired by the taker, options are divided into "calls" and "puts". A call option gives the taker (just the buyer of the option) the right (but not the obligation) to buy at a fixed price, while a put option confers upon him the right (but not the obligation) to sell at a fixed price. The fixed price at which the taker may buy or sell the underlying commodity or security, a procedure known as exercising the option, is called the striking price. If the striking price is identical to the current market price of the commodity or security (i.e. the prevailing price for delivery and payment on expiration date), the option is said to be at the money. When the striking price of a call option is lower than the current market price it is in the money. When it is higher than current market price it is out of the money. In contrast, the put option is in the money when the striking price is higher than the current market price or out of the money when the striking prices lower than the current market price.It will by now clear that there are two basic prices in an options contract, the price paid for the purchase of the actual option, which is the premium, and the fixed price at which the option may be exercised, which is the striking price. In turn, the price of the premium is itself made up of two component parts, the intrinsic value and extrinsic value (often known as the time value). Intrinsic value may be defined as the amount by which an option is in the money. The calculation of a proper time value for an option is far more complex. It is influenced by four different factors ----the duration of the option, the historical price volatility of the underlying commodity or security, current interest rates and the supply of and demand for the option.70. Depending on _________, options are divided into "calls" and "puts".A. the right acquired by the sellerB. the right acquired by the buyerC. the obligation acquired by the sellerD. the obligation acquired by the seller71. A put option_____________.A. gives the buyer the right to sell the underlying commodity at a fixed priceB. gives the seller the right to buy the underlying commodity at a fixed priceC. confers upon the seller the right to buy the underlying commodity at fixed price.D. confers upon the seller the right to sell the underlying commodity at fixed price.72. When the striking price of the put option is higher than the current market price, it is calledA. at the moneyB. in the moneyC. out of the moneyD. none of the money73. The premium in option_____________.A. is the striking price of the underlying commodityB. means the option is sold at par valueC. is just the margin that all option deals demandD. is the price of an option contract 74. Which of the following statement is not true?A. The premium consists of the intrinsic value and the extrinsic valueB. The extrinsic value is just the time value.C. The time value for an option is only influenced by the duration of the option and current interest rates.D. The intrinsic value is just the amount by which an option is in the money. assage FourOn the balance sheet, assets and liabilities are classified as either current or long-term to indicate their relative liquidity. Liquidity is a measure of how quickly an item may be converted to cash. Therefore cash is the most liquid asset. Account receivable is a relatively liquid asset because the business expects to collect the amount in cash in the near future. Supplies are less liquid than accounts receivable, and furniture and buildings are even less so. Users of financial statements are interested in liquidity because business difficulties often arise owing to a shortage of cash. Balance sheets list assets and liabilities in the order of their relative liquidity.Current Assets. Current assets are assets that are expected to be converted to cash, sold, or consumed during the next 12 months or within the business's normal operating cycle if longer than a year. The operating cycle is the time span during which (1) cash is used to acquire goods and services, and (2) these goods and services are sold to customers, who in turn pay for their purchases with cash. For most businesses, the operating cycle is a few months. A few types of business have operating cycles longer than a year. Cash Accounts Receivable, Notes receivable due within a year or less are current assets. Merchandising entities such as Sears, Penney's and K Mart have an additional current asset. Inventory. This account shows the cost of goods that are held for sale to customers.Long-term Assets. Long-term assets are all assets other than current assets. They are not held for sale, but rather they are used to operate the business. One category of long-term assets is plant assets, or fixed assets. Land, buildings, furniture and fixtures, and equipment are examples of plant assets.Financial statement users such as creditors are most interested in the due dates of an entity's liabilities. The sooner a liability must be paid, the more current it is. Liabilities that must be paid on the earliest future date create the greatest stain on cash. Therefore, the balance sheet lists liabilities in the order in which they are due. Knowing how many of a business's liabilities are current and how many are long-term helps creditors assess the likelihood of collecting from the entity. Balance sheets usually have at least two liability classifications,。

If there is not enough information to answer " right" or "wrong''. choose "Doesn't say".Passage OneNew issues of common stock come into two varieties, primary distributions and secondary distributions. Primaries are sales of stock that have never been issued before. There are two types of primary distributions--initial public offering (IPOs) and additional floats of companies' stock that will dilute eachshareholder's existing holding. Of the two, the latter are more common in the new issues market for equities since they involve offerings of shares of larger, more mature companies seeking additional equity capital. Secondary distributions are sales of stock that previously existed in some form or other but are too large to be accommodated on the stock exchanges. Procedures for secondaries often follow those for primaries although the offering period is much shorter and may involve a matter of hours rather than days.The actual marketing for these issues is done by investment bankers directly to the public. On rare occasions, companies have attempted to sell their shares or bonds directly to the public, avoiding investment banking fees. Unless the company is very well known, such attempts are less than successful. The behavior of investment bankers is key to the reception of new issues and directly affects the cost of capital for a company. As a result, the choice of an investment banker is crucial for a company, and the wrong choice could affect its costs over the near term.51. Initial public offerings (IPOs) are one of the type of primary distributions,while additional floats of companies' stock belong to secondary distributions.A.RightB.WrongC.Doesn't say52. Compared with additional floats of companies' stock, initial public offering(IPOs) are more common because they involve offerings of shares larger, more mature companies seeking additional equity capital.A.RightB.WrongC.Doesn't say53.Both primary distributions and secondary distributions are issued in primary markets.A.RightB.WrongC.Doesn't say54. Few companies have attempted to see their shares or bonds directly to the public.A.RightB.WrongC.Doesn't sayPassage TwoThe simplest means of transferring funds abroad is by means of the airmail remittance order. For example, a local customer of the bank wishes to send money to a relative in Japan. The local customer goes to the United States bank and specifies where and to whom the money is to be delivered. He also indicates the amount he wishes to send, for example, USD$100. The bank prepares a letter to its correspondent bank in the town nearest towhere the relative lives. In this letter, the United States bank says, "Advise and pay US dollars 100 to ( name and address ) of recipient." The letter says that this is by order of its local customer, giving his name. Then it adds, " In reimbursement, we credit your account with us." This informs the Japanese bank that its account in the United States bank has been credited USD100 (The United states bank credits the Japanese banks due to account).55. MT is the simplest means of transferring funds abroad.A.RightB.WrongC.Doesn't say56. According to the passage, the local customer of U.S. is a remitter.A.RightB.WrongC.Doesn't say57.The Japanese bank debits the U.S. bank's due from account.A.RightB.WrongC.Doesn't sayPassage ThreeTo finance the national debt, the government issues a variety of debt securities. The most widely held liquid security is the Treasury bill, which is commonly issued by the ministry of finance. However. some Treasury bills, like the Treasury bill of the U. S. government, do not actually pay interest. Instead they are issued at a discount from par (their value at maturity). The investor’s yield comes from the increase in the value of the security between the time it was purchased and the time it matures.Treasury bills are attractive to investors because they are backed by the government and therefore are virtually free of default risk. Because even if the government ran out of money it could simply print more to pay them off when they mature. The risk of unexpected changes in inflation is also low because of the short term to maturity. The markets for Treasury bills in most developed countries are deep and liquid, A deep market is one with many different buyers and sellers. A liquid market is one in which securities can be bought and sold quickly and with low transaction costs. Investors in markets that are deep and liquid have little risk that they will not be able to sell their securities when they want to.58. Treasury bills are short-term and virtually free of default risk.A.RightB.WrongC.Doesn't say59. As some treasury bills do not actually pay interest, they are not attractive to investorsA.RightB.WrongC.Doesn't say60.Investors in deep and liquid markets face immense risk that they will not be able to selltheir securities when they want to.A.RightB.WrongC.Doesn't saySection Four (20%)Directions: There are 4 passages in this sections. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. You should choose the best answer.Passage OneSince equal dollar amounts of debits and credits are entered in the accounts for every transaction recorded, the sum of the debits in the ledger must be equal to the sum of all the credits. If the computation of account balances has been accurate, it follows that the total of the accounts with debit balances must be equal to the total of the accounts with credit balances.Before using the account balances to prepare financial statements, it is desirable to prove that the total of accounts with debit balances is in fact equal to the total of accounts with credit balances. This proof of the equality of debit and credit balances is called a trial balances. A trial balance is a two-column schedule listing the names and balances of all the accounts in the order in which they appear in the ledger. The debit balances are listed in the left-hand column and the credit balances in the right-column. The totals of the two columns should agree.The trial balance provides proof that the ledger is in balance. The agreement of the debit and credit totals of the trial balance gives assurance that:1.Equal debits and credits have been recorded for all transactions.2.The debit or credit balance of each account has been correctly computed.3. The addition of the account balances in the trial balance has been correctly performed.Suppose that the debit and credit totals of the trial balance do not agree. This situation indicates that one or more errors have been made. Typical of such errors are (1) the entering of a debit as a credit or vice verse; (2) arithmetical mistakes in balancing accounts; (3) clerical errors in copying account balances into the trial balance;(4) listing a debit balance in the credit column of the trial balance, or vice verse; and (5) errors in addition of the trial balance.The preparation of a trial balance does not prove that transactions have been correctly analyzed and recorded in the proper accounts. If, for example, a receipt of cash were not be disclosed by the trial balance. In brief, the trial balance proves only one respect of the ledger, and that is the equality of debit and credits.61. A trial balance is a two-column schedule listing the names and balances of all the accounts to prove _______________.A. the agreement of the debit and credit totalsB. the order in which they appear in the ledgerC. the equality of account balances of financial statementsD. the order in which they appear in the recording62. Unless __________, the totals of the debit and credit of trial balance should agree.A. the debit or credit balance of each amount has been correctly computedB. debits and credits have been recorded correctly for all transactionsC. unequal debits and credits have been recorded for all transactionsD. the addition of the account balance in the trial balances has been correctly performed63.If ____________, the debit and credit totals of the trial balance do not agree.A. mistakes appear in computing balancing accountsB. a credit is entered as a debitC. a credit balance is listed in the debit columnD. All of the above64. If a payment of cash is recorded by ________, the trial balance would still balance.A. crediting the Account Payable accountB. debiting the cash accountC. debiting the Account Receivable accountD. debiting the land account65. A trial balance is a working paper which is intended ___________.A. for distribution to various outsidersB. to prepare financial statementsC. for distribution to various accountantsD. to prepare ledger accountsPassage TwoInsurance is almost as important to business as banking. It works quite simply by spreading over a large number of people, the costs or the losses which otherwise would fall on the few who actually suffer them.Fire, for instance, normally damages only a few businesses each year but almost all companies buy insurance to protect themselves against it. What happens is that most companies pay regular small amounts of money, called the premium to insurance groups and so a large fund of money builds up. Then the few who have suffered fires claim the cost of the damages. After investigation, the claims are paid out by the insurance companies.For the operation to work, insurance companies have to calculate what is the chance or probability of certain events happening, and what the cost of making accidents good will be, and how many people will pay, what rates,to have protection. Premiums are fixed in proportion to the risk involved.There are four principles backing up every insurance contract. The first, known as indemnity, is that the insured should get back the same value as was lost. If you insure your watch against the risk of its being stolen, then the insurance company will only pay out the cost of a similar, second. hired watch unless you make a special agreement with them.The second principle is that of agreeing that the insurer has to own, or have the insurable interest in, the property covered, both at the time of affecting the insurance and at the time of loss. This is usual for policies covering fire；but the insurance on ships and their cargoes can be transferred to new owners if required.Thirdly it is necessary for the agreement to be concluded in good faith. Generally the company providing insurance cover charges a premium based on what it is told. If a company fails to mention that a warehouse sometimes contains explosives the underwriter may declare the contract not valid and refuse to pay a claim if the warehouse blows up.Finally, insurers distinguish between remote and immediate causes of an event. If there is an earthquake and a house is damaged, catches fire and is flooded by firemen when putting out the flames, the compensation due will depend on the exact words used in the detailed insurance contract. Usually companies do not provide cover against earthquake damage, so the house owner may not get any compensation for the effects of the fire or water, as these were a direct result ofthe earthquake.66. What are the four principles backing up every insurance contract?A. Indenmity, the insurable interest, premium and good faith.B. Indemnity, the cost of the damage, the exact words in the contract and the insurableinterest.C.Indemnity, the insurable interest, good faith and remote and immediate causes of anevent.D. Indemnity, the insurable interest, the cost of the damages and good faith.67. I n Para. 2, the term "premium" means ___________A. the cost of the damageB. a sum of money paid regularly to an insurance companyC. proportion of the risk involvedD. a large fund of money68. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Premiums are usually decided in proportion to the risk involved.B. Insurance companies often do not provide cover against earthquake damages.C. Insurance on ships and their cargoes can be transferred to new owners if required.D. Those who buy insurance can claim the cost of damages if they suffer from firescaused by an earthquake.69. Which of the following is implied, but not directly stated in the passage?A. A regular small sum of money will cover your losses.B. Insurance companies usually do not provide cover against earthquake losses.C. An insurance company can build up a large sum of money from those who pay insurance charge.D. You cannot cover the losses you suffer if the results of the investigation by insurance company turn outnot to be in your favor.70. The purpose of this passage is ___________ .A. to get you familiar with insurance businessB. to advise you to insure your propertiesC. to tell you how to get compensation from an insurance companyD. to teach you how to sign an insurance contractPassage ThreeOnce the exporter has been advised that a letter of credit has been issued in its favor, many exporters make the mistake of starting to prepare or fulfill the requirements of the foreign customer's purchase order before actually receiving the actual letter of credit from the opening or issuing bank. Unless the exporter has had good or excellent prior experience with the foreign customer and its issuing bank, the exporter runs the risk of having the goods ready for shipment, without receiving the original letter of credit. The exporter runs a risk because it may or may not be able to comply with certain terms and conditions contained in the actual original letter of credit. It is always conceivable new conditions might be added to the credit instrument. Or the goods might be shipped and arrived at the overseas port of destination without any original documents because the original L/C arrives late. Thus, the foreign customer will be unable to clear goods through customs, and the goods will be stored in a customs warehouse to accrue expensive demurrage charges.The answer to the above mentioned problem is to have the opening bank issue the letter of credit via tested telex or SWIFT to the advising or negotiating bank as the "original operative instrument" which can be presented for payment by the beneficiary. The exporter must make sure the negotiating or confirming bank, usually the advising bank, is willing to accept the aforementioned as the original operative instrument. Sometimes advising, negotiating, and even confirming banks who pay on behalf of issuing banks still want to wait for the original written letter of credit to be received by them via mail. This might indicate a financial problem with the issuing bank or some sort of technical problems between the banks which the exporter should investigate immediately. The solution helps reduce or eliminate any delays in credit timely for payment after shipment of the goods. Remember in many cases banks want the original on-board ocean bill of lading presented to them with the original letter of credit.71. The exporter should start to prepare or fulfill the requirements of the foreign customer's purchase order _______________.A. before the exporter has been advised that a letter of credit has been issued in its favorB. after the exporter has been advised that a letter of credit has been issued in its favorC. before the exporter actually receives the letter of credit from the opening or issuing bankD. after the exporter actually receives the letter of credit from the opening or issuing bank72. If the exporter starts to prepare or fulfill the requirements of the foreign customer's purchase order when he has been advised that a letter of credit has been issued, he may run the risk of ________.A. having the goods ready to board a steamship which may not comply with certain terms and conditionsstipulated in the letter of creditB. having the goods shipped to the destination and cleared through customsC. having the goods stored in the custom's warehouse without any chargesD. None of the above73. According to the passage, the importer can clear goods through customs on presentation of ____________.A. the original letter of creditB. the original documentsC. the credit instrumentD. expensive demurrage charges74.

Here we will discuss how the analysis of cost behavior patterns allows management to understand the effects that changes in cost, volume, and revenue will have on profit. The techniques for studying these relationships are collectively referred to as cost-volume-profit (C-V-P) analysis. They can be used in making decisions about selling prices, production volume, levels of discretionary fixed costs, and so on.There are three common and related ways to perform C-V-P analysis: (1) The contribution margin approach;(2) The equation approach; and (3) the graphical approach. Although all the three common methods of C-V-P analysis are variations of the same calculations, each approach has its advantages. The graphical approach allows the simultaneous analysis of several different activity levels.Among others things, C-V-P analysis is used to compute break-even points and target net income levels. The equation approach is especially useful in assessing how profit change when costs or revenues change.Three limiting assumptions are (1) that the sales mix is constant, (2) that cost and revenue behavior patterns are linear and remain constant over the relevant range, and (3)that all costs can be categorized as either fixed or variable. When sales volumes are relatively stable management should always emphasize the products with the highest contribution-margin ratios.76.
