11、s of the terms of those documents. 三、阅读理解 20 A note receivable is a negotiable instrument, which means it is readily transferable from one business or person to another and may be sold for cash. To get cash quickly, payees sometimes sell a note receivable to another party before the note matures. Th

12、e payee endorses the note and hands it over to the note purchaser-often a bank-who collects the maturity value of the note at the maturity date. Selling a note receivable before maturity is called discounting a note receivable because the payee of the note receives less than its maturity value. This

13、 lower price decreases the amount of interest revenue the payee earns on the note. Giving up some of this interest is the price the payee is willing to pay for the convenience of receiving cash early. Assume that the maturity date of the Dorman note is January 18, 1995 and that General Electric disc

14、ounts the Dorman note at First City National Bank on December 9, 1994. The discount period-which is the number of days from the date of discounting to the date of maturity (this is the period the bank will hold the note) - is 40 days; 22 days in December, and 18 days in January. Assume the bank appl

15、ies a 12 percent annual interest rate in computing the discount value of the note. The bank will want to use a discount rate that is higher than the interest rate on the note in order to increase its earnings. GE may be willing to accept this higher rate in order to get cash quickly. The discounted

16、value, called the proceeds, is the amount that GE receives from the bank. The proceeds are computed as follows: General Electrics entry to record discounting the note is: Dec. 9, 1994cash $ 15 170 Note receivable Dorman Builders $ 15 000 Interest Revenue $ 170 TO RECORD DISCOUNTING NOTE RECEIVABLE A

17、t maturity the bank collects 15 375 from the maker of the note, earning 205 of interest revenue. Observe two points in the above computation: (1) The discounting is computed on the maturity value of the note (principal plus interest) rather than on the original principal amount, and (2) the discount

23、 25 What determines the rate of exchange between currencies will be examined later in this booklet, but first it is useful to consider the mechanics of international transactions. To enable a UK importer to pay his American supplier, for example, the facilities of two or more banks are used, firstly

24、 in handling the often complex documentation and secondly, through the foreign exchange market, in obtaining the currency required. At one time payments to and from other countries were made by bills of exchange; hence in part the term “exchange rate“, which was maintained even though other methods

25、of payment have largely superseded the bill of exchange. The British importer will probably need to pay his American supplier in dollars and his British bank can offer him several alternative methods of settlement. It can provide him with a bankers draft drawn in dollars. The bank is able to do this

26、 because it will have an account with another bank (called a correspondent bank) in an American city and it simply issues a dollar cheque or draft drawn on that account. The British importer can then send this draft by airmail to the supplier. Since there is a danger that the draft may be lost or fa

30、 where the beneficiary lives. （ D） Its customer has a dollar account with it. 28 What will the correspondent bank do in the settlement according to this passage? （ A） It will make payment in dollars against the bankers draft. （ B） It will send the draft to the bank in Britain. （ C） It will issue a d

31、ocumentary credit. （ D） It will have an agreement with the bank mentioned. 29 What is the safer and more normal method for the importers bank to effect the settlement? （ A） To issue a bankers draft. （ B） To arrange for payment by mail transfer. （ C） To make the payment to its correspondent bank. （ D

32、 To ask the importer to pay the money on his dollar account. 30 Who is the “recipient“ in the settlement? （ A） The correspondent bank. （ B） The British bank. （ C） The British importer. （ D） The American supplier. 四、英释汉 31 Money guarantees that there is always a double coincidence of wants . 32 The
