国际贸易实务（第三版）课后习题答案《国际贸易实务》第三版课后习题答案第一章国际贸易术语一、本章思考题1.什么是贸易术语？简述其性质与作用。

解析：贸易术语是在国际贸易中用来表明商品的价格构成，说明货物交接过程中有关的风险、责任和费用划分问题的专门用语。

例如，业务中常用的FOB、CIF和CFR 等。

作用：风险划分点及制定价格的基础。

有关贸易术语的国际惯例有哪些？共有三部，见教材。

3.试比较FOB、CFR和CIF这三种术语的异同。

解析：FOB、CFR和CIF这三种常用贸易术语，按照《2020年通则》的解释，卖方都是在装运港交货；买卖双方承担的风险都是以船舷为界进行划分；都是仅适用于水上运输方式；卖方承担出口通关的责任和费用，买方承担进口通关的责任和费用。

但在运输和保险的安排上却存在着差别。

FOB条件下，运输和保险由买方自行安排，卖方没有责任；CFR条件下，卖方负责签订运输合同，支付运费，保险由买方自行安排；CIF条件下，运输合同和保险合同均由卖方负责签订，并承担运费和保险费。

由此可见，三种贸易术语在交货地点、风险划分界限、适用的运输方式以及出入境通关的责任负担方面都是完全相同的，区别只是在于有关运输保险的责任和费用的承担方面。

4.试比较FCA、CPT和CIP这三种术语的异同。

解析:按照《2020年通则》的解释，按照FCA、CPT和CIP这三种术语成交时，卖方都是在合同约定的地点将货物交给第一承运人控制时完成交货义务；卖方承担的风险都是以第一承运人控制货物时转移给买方；它们都是适用于各种运输方式；卖方承担出口通关的责任和费用，买方承担进口通关的责任和费用。

但在运输和保险的安排上却存在着差别。

FCA条件下，运输和保险由买方自行安排，卖方没有责任； CPT条件下，卖方负责签订运输合同，支付运费，保险由买方自行安排；CIP条件下，运输合同和保险合同均由卖方负责签订，并承担运费和保险费。

由此可见，向承运人交货的这三种贸易术语在交货地点、风险划分界限、适用的运输方式以及出入境通关的责任负担方面也都是完全相同的，区别只是在于有关运输保险的责任和费用的承担方面。

Unit 1 A brief introduction to international tradeKeyI. Answer my questions1. International trade is business whose activities involve the crossing of national borders. It includes not only international trade and foreign manufacturing but also encompasses the growing services industry in areas such as transportation, tourism, banking, advertising, construction, retailing, wholesaling, and mass communications. It includes all business transactions that involve two or more countries. Such business relationship may be private or governmental.2. Sales expansion, resource acquisition and diversification of sales and supplies.3. To gain profit.4. To seej out foreign markets and procurement.5. There are four major forms which are the following:Merchandise exports and Imports, Service Exports and Imports, Investment and Multinational Enterprise.6. It is the account which is a summary statement of the flow of all international economic and financial transactions between one nation (eg.the United States ) and the rest of the world over some period of time, usually one year.7. Merchandise Exporting and Importing.8. Yes. There are great differences between them.1) direct investment takes place when control follows the investment. It usually means high commitment of capital, personnel, and technology abroad. It aims at gaining of foreign resources and foreign markets. Direct investment may often get higher foreign sales than exporting. And sometimes it involves two or more parties.2) While portfolio investments are not under control. And they are used primarily for financial purposes. Treasures of companies, for example, routinely more funds from one country to another to get a higher yield on short term investments.9. MNE is the abbreviation of the multinational enterprise. Its synonyms are NNC (the multinational corporation) and TNC (transnational corporation).10. Examples are travel, transport, fee, royalties, dividends and interest.11. The choice of forms is influenced by the objective being pursued and the environments in which the company must operate.12. It is limited by the number of people interested in a firm’s products and services and by customers’ capacity to make purchase.13. This is because at an early stage of international involvement these operations usually take the least commitment and least risk of a firm’s resources.14. Royalties means the payment for use of assets from abroad, such as for trademarks patens, copyrights, or other expertise under contract known as licencing agreements.Royalties are also paid franchising.15. It is a way of doing business in which one party (the franchiser) the use of a trademark that is an essential asset for the franchisers’ business.II Match each one on the left with its correct meaning on the right1.

The boss of the company was very strange that the quality of the battery or the price of reasons, so he asked his staff to investigate. Finally he found that is the brand "white elephant" to be blame. The brand's name translated into English was "white elephant" which meant something were no use but cumbersome in Western countries. It was really a bad translation from culture information perspective. The meaning derived from a legend. According to the legend, there was a king who hated a minister, so he gave a white elephant to the minister for punishment. The minister has to take care of the white elephant, he couldn't give it to others or kill it because it's the king gave it to him. However, the appetite of the white elephant was so great, and the minister became poorer. So it showed people in western countries would not buy the battery for the consumers have no willing to buy something useless but cumbersome.V. OpenVI.Translate the following into English1. Trade is often the ‘engine’ of growth. However oversimplified this metaphor may be, it does serve to underline the importance of foreign trade in the process of growth. A healthy expansion of exports may not always be sufficient condition for rapid and sustained growth, but a strong positive association between the two is clearly undeniable. Trade expansion contributes to economic growth in many ways. Among them are the benefits of specialization; the favorable effects of international competition on domestic economic efficiency; the increased capacity to pay for the imports required in development and more generally the stimulus to investment.2. International trade is the exchange of goods and services produced in one country for goods and services produced in another country. In addition to visible trade, which involves the import and export of goods and merchandise, there is also invisible trade, which involves the exchange of services between nations. Nations such as Greece and Norway have large maritime fleets and provide transportation service. This is a kind of invisible trade. Invisible trade can be as important to some nations as the export of raw materials or commodities is to others. In both cases, the nations earn the money to buy necessities.3. There exist different ways of conducting international business. Exclusive sale means the seller gives the overseas client the exclusive right of selling a particular product in a designated area within a specified period of time. In this kind of business transaction, the product is bought by the exclusive seller and therefore he should sell the product by himself, assuming sole responsibilities for his profitand loss. Exclusive sale is different from agency where only commission is involved. And difference exists between general contract and exclusive sales because the exclusive seller enjoys exclusive right in a particular area.4. There is no country in the world that can produce all the products it needs. Thus countries join in international division of labor for effective production and reproduction. Sometimes a country can buy goods and services from abroad on a barter basis. Barter means doing business by exchanging goods of one sort for goods of another sort without using money. Barter trade itself is not enough to meat a country’s import needs. But as a form of international trade, it is still attractive in developing countries where foreign exchange is in short supply and inflow of foreign funds is far from sufficient to meet their obligations in external trade.Unit 2 General Procedures of Export and Import TransactionI.

On the basis, it has indeed cost us a great deal. From the moment to open credit till the time our buyers pay us, the tie-up of our funds lasts about four months. Under the present circumstances, this question is particular taxing owing to the tight money condition and unprecedentedly high bank interests.In view of our long business relations and our amicable cooperation prospects, we suggest that you accept either “cash against documents on arrival of goods” or “drawing on us at 60 day’s sight”.Your first priority to the consideration of the above request and an early favorable reply will be highly appreciated.Yours sincerely,VIII. Translate the followings into English1). Economic activity began with the cavemen, who was economically self-sufficient. He did his own hunting, found his own shelter, and provided for his own needs. As primitive populations grew and developed, the principle of division of labor evolved. One person was more able to perform some activity than another, and therefore each person concentrated on what he did best. While one hunted, another fished. The hunter then traded his surplus to the fisherman, and each benefited from the variety of diet.In today’s complex economic world, neither individuals nor nations are self-sufficient nations are self-sufficient. Nations have utilized different economic resources; people have developed different skills. This is the foundation of international trade and economic activities.Foreign trade, the exchange of goods between nations, takes place for many reasons. The first, as mentioned above, is that no nation has all of the commodities than it needs. Raw materials are scattered around the world. Large deposits of copper are mined in Peru and Zaire, diamonds are mined in South Africa, and petroleum is recovered in Middle East. Countries that do not have these resources within their own boundaries must buy from countries that export them.Foreign trade also occurs because a country often does not have enough of a particular item to meet its needs. Although the United States is a major producer of sugar, it consumes more than it can produce internally and thus must import sugar.Third, one nation can sell some items at a lower cost than other countries. Japan has been able to export large quantities of radios and television sets because it can produce them more efficiently than other countries. It is cheaper for the United States to buy these from Japan than to produce them domestically.Finally, foreign trade takes place because of innovation or style. Even though the United States produces more automobiles than any other country, it still imports large quantities of autos from Germany, Japan and Sweden, primarily because there is a market for them in the United States.2). The different kinds of trade nations engaged in are varied and complex, a mixture of visible and invisible trade. Most nations are more dependent on exports than on any other activity. The earnings from exports pay for the imports that they need and want. A nation’s balance of payment is a record of these complex transactions. By reflecting all of these transactions in monetary terms , a nation is able to combine the income it receives, for example, from exports, tourists expenditures, and immigrant remittances. This combined incomes is then spent on such items as manufactured goods from other countries, travel for its citizens to other countries, and the hiring of construction engineers.IX.

第一章国际贸易的基本流程和适用的法律【教学要求】国际贸易涉及面广线长，各个环节之间具有密切内在联系。

为使国际贸易能够顺利进行，了解国际贸易的基本流程是非常必要的，且国际贸易业务必须符合法律规范。

通过本章的学习，认识国际贸易基本流程工作的重要性，了解国际贸易基本流程的具体内容，掌握在国际贸易中所涉及的法律法规，在理解有关国际贸易惯例的基础上，为进一步规范国际贸易业务，按照国际贸易法律和惯例开展业务提供重要的保障。

【主要内容】1、出口贸易的基本流程在通常情况下可分为：交易前的准备工作阶段、交易磋商和签订合同阶段，以及出口合同履行阶段三大环节。

与出口交易类似，进口贸易的基本流程也包括三个阶段，但在具体内容上，与出口交易又有所不同。

2、为保证国际贸易能够顺利进行，使国际贸易得到法律的承认与保护，国际贸易业务必须符合法律规范。

概括起来，国际贸易所适用的法律法规主要有：国际条约、国际贸易惯例、国内法等。

3、国际条约可划分为双边条约和多边条约。

目前，国际商事中的主要国际条约包括国际货物买卖、国际货物运输、国际支付、对外贸易管理、贸易争端解决、国际投资以及知识产权等多方面，其中《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》是当今关于国际货物买卖的最重要的国际公约。

4、国内法是指由某一国家制定或认可，并在本国主权管辖内生效的法律。

与国际条约相比而言，国内法所涉及的有关国际贸易的范围较广，包括规范国际货物买卖、国际贸易运输、国际贸易保险、国际货款的收付、对外贸易管理、国际贸易仲裁等内容。

5、随着国际经济与贸易的快速发展, 国际贸易惯例的作用越来越明显。

但法律与国际贸易惯例是有本质不同的。

国际贸易惯例本身不是法律，其适用是以当事人的意思自治为基础的。

目前，在国际贸易领域常见的国际贸易惯例有：国际贸易术语方面、国际货款的收付方面及运输与保险方面等。

【重点难点】本章的重点是进出口业务的具体流程，难点是国际贸易惯例的性质与特点。

第一章国际贸易的基本流程和适用的法律【案例讨论】1、2001年12月，中国天津A公司与某国设在中国广州的外商独资企业B公司在大连签订一份货物买卖合同，合同规定，由B公司向A公司出售一批移动电信设备，总金额为200万美元，交货地点在A公司设在沈阳的仓库。

We find your price as well as delivery date satisfactory, however, we would give our suggestions of an alternation of your payment terms.Our past purchase of other household electrical appliances from you has been paid as a rule by confirmed, irrevocable letter of credit at sight. On the basis, it has indeed cost us a great deal. From the moment to open credit till the time our buyers pay us, the tie-up of our funds lasts about four months. Under the present circumstances, this question is particular taxing owing to the tight money condition and unprecedentedly high bank interests.In view of our long business relations and our amicable cooperation prospects, we suggest that you accept either “cash against documents on arrival of goods”or “drawing on us at 60 day’s sight”.Your first priority to the consideration of the above request and an early favorable reply will be highly appreciated.Yours sincerely,VIII. Translate the followings into English1). Economic activity began with the cavemen, who was economically self-sufficient. He did his own hunting, found his own shelter, and provided for his own needs. As primitive populations grew and developed, the principle of division of labor evolved. One person was more able to perform some activity than another, and therefore each person concentrated on what he did best. While one hunted, another fished. The hunter then traded his surplus to the fisherman, and each benefited from the variety of diet.In today’s complex economic world, neither individuals nor nations are self-sufficient nations are self-sufficient. Nations have utilized different economic resources; people have developed different skills. This is the foundation of international trade and economic activities.Foreign trade, the exchange of goods between nations, takes place for many reasons. The first, as mentioned above, is that no nation has all of the commodities than it needs. Raw materials are scattered around the world. Large deposits of copper are mined in Peru and Zaire, diamonds are mined in South Africa, and petroleum is recovered in Middle East. Countries that do not have these resources within their own boundaries must buy from countries that export them.Foreign trade also occurs because a country often does not have enough of a particular item to meet its needs. Although the United States is a major producer of sugar, it consumes more than it can produce internally and thusmust import sugar.Third, one nation can sell some items at a lower cost than other countries. Japan has been able to export large quantities of radios and television sets because it can produce them more efficiently than other countries. It is cheaper for the United States to buy these from Japan than to produce them domestically.Finally, foreign trade takes place because of innovation or style. Even though the United States produces more automobiles than any other country, it still imports large quantities of autos from Germany, Japan and Sweden, primarily because there is a market for them in the United States.2). The different kinds of trade nations engaged in are varied and complex, a mixture of visible and invisible trade. Most nations are more dependent on exports than on any other activity. The earnings from exports pay for the imports that they need and want. A nation’s balance of payment is a record of these complex transactions. By reflecting all of these transactions in monetary terms , a nation is able to combine the income it receives, for example, from exports, tourists expenditures, and immigrant remittances. This combined incomes is then spent on such items as manufactured goods from other countries, travel for its citizens to other countries, and the hiring of construction engineers.IX.
