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,。
