第一章:1、equity(股本)2、financial system3、portfolio(投资组合)4、bond5、stock1.another way for Intel to raise funds to build a new semi-conductor factory is to sell stock in thecompany. Stock represents ownership in a firm and is, therefore a claim to the profits that the firm makes. For example, if Intel sells a total of 1000000 shares of stocks, then share represents ownership of 1/1000000 of the business2. A mutual fund is an institution that sells shares to the public and uses the proceeds to buy aselection, or portfolio, of various types of stocks, bonds, or both stocks and bonds. The shareholder of the mutual fund accepts all the risks and returns associated with the portfolio.If the value of the portfolio rises, the shareholder benefits, if the value of the portfolio falls, the shareholder suffers the loss.第二章:1、commodity money2、fiate money3、bank note4、Treasury Bill5、money supplyMost countries today have an “independent” central bank, that is, one which operates under rules designed to prevent political interference. Examples include the European Central Bank, the US Federal Reserve, the Reserve Bank of Australia, the Reserve Bank of India, the Bank of England, the Bank of Canada, etc. Some central banks are publicly owned, and others are, in theory, privately owned. In practice, there is little difference between public and private ownership, since in the latter case almost all profit of the bank are paid to the government either as a tax or a transfer to the government.Central banks implement a country’s chosen monetary policy. At the most basic level, this involves establishing what form of currency the country may have, whether a fiat currency, gold-backed currency ( disallowed for countries with membership of the IMF ), currency board or a currency union. When a country has its own national currency, this involves the issue of some form of standardized currency, which is essentially a form of promissory note: a promise to exchange the note for “money” under certain circumstances.第三章:Interest rateInflationmonetary policyFederal Reserve ActDiscount loanSerious disagreements existed over whether the central bank should be a private bank or a government institution. Because of the heated debates on these issues, a compromise was struck. In American tradition, Congress wrote an elaborate system of checks and balances into the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, which created the Federal Reserve System with its 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks.All national banks (commercial banks chartered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency) are required to be members of the Federal Reserve System. Commercial banks chartered by the states are not required to be members, but they can choose to join. Currently, around one third of the commercial banks in the United Stated are members of the Federal Reserve System, having declined from a peak figure of 49% in 1947.第四章:Exchange rateConsolidationpayment and settlement systemChina Banking Regulatory Commissiondeposit insurance在国务院的领导下,中国人民银行依法独立实施货币政策、履行人行职能、开展人行业务,其决策不受地方政府、各级政府部门、公共组织或者任何个人的影响Faced with the complicated and severe economic situation both at home and abroad, in line with the changing situation, the PBC, under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, resolutely studied and implemented the scientific development approach, earnestly fulfilled its responsibilities as the central bank, responded promptly to the intense impact of the international financial crisis, pressed ahead with developing the coordination mechanism for financial regulation, strengthened the monitoring and assessment of financial risks, speeded up the designing of the deposit insurance system, enhanced the central bank asset management, promoted healthy development of wealth management products, and effectively maintained financial stability and safety.第五章:P/E ratioStock exchangeP/B ratioListH-sharesThrough public listing, the aforementioned four banks have established market-oriented capital supply mechanism, standardized information disclosure, and strengthened restrictions on the performance of senior management. So, the capital market played an increasingly prominent role in establishing efficient operation mechanism of modern financial enterprises. In addition, the consecutive listing of BOC and ICBC on the A share market also enhanced the overall investment value on the market.In 2006, relevant authorities conducted further feasibility studies on the shareholding reform scheme of ABC, taking into the consideration of building new socialist countryside and making the master plan for rural area financial reforms. Financial administration authorities have taken measures to urge ABC to manage its credit risks.第六章:clientcreditrisk managementtrust fundgrantIBRD raises most of its funds on the world’s financial markets and has become one of the most established borrowers since issuing its first bond 1947. The income that IBRD has generated over the years has allowed it to fund development activities and to ensure its financial strength, which enables it to borrow at low cost and offer clients good borrowing terms.IDA’s long-term, no-interest loans pay for programs that build the policies, institutions, infrastructure and human capital needed for equitable and environmentally sustainable development. IDA’s goal is to reduce inequalities both across and within countries by allowing more people to participate in the mainstream economy, reducing poverty and promoting more equal access to the opportunities created by economic growth.第七章:quotaoutstanding loanexchange ratefiscal yearbalance of paymentMore generally, the IFM is responsible for ensuring the stability of the international monetary and financial system—the system of international payments and exchange rates among national currencies that enables trade to take place between counties. The Fund seeks to promote economic stability and prevent crises, to help resolve crises when they do occur, and to promote growth and alleviate poverty. It employs three main functions—surveillance, technical assistance, and lending—to meet these objectives.Surveillance is the regular dialog and policy advice that the IMF offices to each of its members. On a regular basis—usually once each year, the Fund conducts in-depth appraisals of each membercountry’s economic situation. It discusses with the country’s authorities the policies that are most conducive to stable exchange rates and a growing and prosperous economy. Members have the option to publish the Fund’s assessment, and the overwhelming majority of countries opt for transparency, making extensive information on bilateral surveillance acailable to the public.第八章time depositdemand depositcheckable depositrepurchase agreementEurodollarTo define money merely as currency is much too narrow, because checks are also accepted as payment for purchases, and checking account deposits are considered money as well. An even broader definition of money is often needed because other items, such as savings deposits, can in effect function as money if they can be quickly and easily converted into currency or checking account deposits.回购协议,金融机构或大公司从银行购买国库券,并同意在将来某个时间以约定的价格,包括利息,再卖回给银行。

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.

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,。

Dear sirs,
Re: the new interest rate
We are pleased to notify you that effective Aug. 1,2002 until further notice interest is to be calculated on the credit balance at 5.5% and charge at 6% p.a. on overdrafts in your Renminbi account with us. We would add that generally your account is not allowed to be overdrawn and it is hoped that you will see to it that your account always keeps a credit balance and is replenished in time when overdrawn.
