So functional income statement is an
35、 income statement that segregates all costs by use; it shows revenues less cost of goods sold(gross margin)less selling and administrative expenses. This approach is useful for financial reporting purpose; it provides outsider readers with information about company s progress and about which functio
36、nal areas are being emphasized.

The collecting bank is any bank, other than the remitting bank, involved in processing the collection order, and the presenting bank is the collecting bank making presentation to the drawee more than one collecting bank may be involved in collecting a bill a
40、nd it is the bank that actually presents the bill to the drawee for acceptance/payment that is the presenting bank. The drawee is the person specified as the one to whom the financial document and/or commercial documents is to be presented. A collecting bank must be sent a collection order with the
41、documents concerned, and this must give complete and concise instructions. It will in fact incorporate, all the instructions contained in the application form.

44、untry risk generally refers to economic and political conditions existing in a country. In any case, a loan to the foreign nation s government or its agencies is generally safer than a loan to a private-sector borrower. Even loans to governments may be unsafe, however, because of what is called “sov
45、ereign risk“. When foreign governments experience e-conomic or political pressures, there is a risk that they will divert resources to the correction of their domestic problems at the expense of servicing their debts to external lenders. In the 1980s, several less-developed nations requested the res
46、cheduling of bank loans at considerable sacrifice in interest income to the banks involved.

49、ally one, two, three or six months ahead but sometimes one or two years. This rate is fixed regardless of what might have happened to the rate of exchange in the meantime and is particularly useful in an era of floating, and potentially volatile, exchange rates. If, for example, a British importer of US machines which cost $3,000 each has to pay in one month s time he may prefer to buy the currency now for actual delivery in one month s time.
