商务英语函电 第三、四章 课后练习答案
②
③
④ ⑤
课堂练习
例如：设某公司拟向日本出口冻驴肉30公吨， 共需装1500箱，每箱毛重25千克，每箱体积为 20cmx30cmx40cm，日商来电要求该公司报CFR神 户价格，问应如何计算这批货物的运费？（设 该航线运费吨的运价为144美元）
货物等级表
货 名 COMMODITIES 级别CLASS 计费标准BASIS
2、国际费用
（1）出口运费 货物出口时支付的海运、陆运或空运费用。 （2）保险费 出口商向保险公司购买货运保险或信用保险所支付的费用。 （3）佣金 出口商向中间商支付的报酬。
（三）预期利润
三、核算要点
（一）成本核算
1、角色定位：专门从事贸易的出口商。 ∴ 成本为采购成本/进货成本/购货成本 2、一般来讲，供货厂商所报价格即为贸易商的采购成本。 3、供货厂商所报价格一般包含增值税。(即采购成本包含增值税) ∴ 采购成本=货价+增值税额 4、增值税的征收及退还均根据货物本身价格（即不含税的价格） ∴ 增值税额=货价×增值税率 ∴ 出口退税额=货价×出口退税率 5、出口商为增加产品在售价上的竞争力，在成本核算时会将含 税的采购成本中的出口退税部分扣除，从而得出实际成本。 ∴ 实际成本=采购成本-出口退税额
实际成本= 采购成本×(1+增值税率-出口退税率)÷(1+增值税率) 出口退税额/退税收入=采购成本×出口退税率÷(1+增值税率）
课堂练习
SWB32S“火车牌”足球每只的购货成本是165 元人民币，其中包括17%的增值税，若足球出口 可以有8%的退税，求每只足球的实际成本？
实际成本= = = = 采购成本×(1+增值税率-出口退税率)÷(1+增值税率) 165×（1+17%-8%）÷（1+17%） 153.7179 153.72 元/只
