Also, a large volume of forward contracts is made directly between
36、 participants in the foreign exchange markets. Spot transactions require the exchange of deposits by two days after the date of the contract. Forward transactions require an exchange of deposits at specified longer maturities on the forward contract. There are standardized maturities of three months
37、, six months, and one year, and on major currencies, longer contracts are sometimes available. Banks, acting as financial intermediaries, make available forward contracts tailored exactly to their customers needs, such as 46-day maturity. If the spot price is below the forward price, the currency is
38、 said to be at a forward premium. If the spot price is above the forward price, the currency is said to be at a forward discount. Both spot and forward markets for currencies are subject to control and intervention by governments. The governments may step in to support their domestic currency by buy
39、ing it. They may impose exchange controls on the repatriation of profits or interest payments. The risk of loss in forward contracts because of these latter controls can be called sovereign risk. Thus spot and forward markets can suffer from imperfections. The evidence, however, generally tends to s
40、upport the hypothesis that these markets are approximately efficient, especially the offshore foreign exchange markets that are free of government controls. 51 A great number of forward contracts are made directly between people who take part in the foreign exchange markets. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （
41、C） Doesnt say 52 The payments for either spot transactions or forward transactions must be made by transferring deposits. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 53 As financial intermediaries, banks can make the maturities of forward contracts infinitely long if their customers expect. （ A） Right （ B
42、） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 54 If any government imposes exchange control on the repatriation of profits, there will be sovereign risk. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 54 The law and FDICs ( the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) regulations, which apply to all state member banks and bank hold
43、ing companies, reinforce the Federal Reserves longstanding policy that an institution-affiliated party who engages in misconduct should not be insulated from the consequences of his or her misconduct. From a safety and soundness perspective, a state member bank or bank holding company should not div
44、ert its assets to pay a line or other final judgment issued against an institution-affiliated party for misconduct that presumably violates the institutions policy of compliance with applicable law, especially in cases where the individuals misconduct has already harmed the institution. Although sta
45、te corporate laws may allow a company to adopt by-laws indemnifying its institution affiliated parties, any indemnification provisions or agreements adopted by a state member bank or bank holding company must comply with federal law and the FDICs regulations concerning indemnification. 55 A state me
46、mber bank should not pay a fine or other final judgment issued against an institution-affiliated party for misconduct. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 56 The federal law and the FDICs regulations have the same power of financial supervision. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 57 It is an in
47、stitution affiliated party who engages in misconduct that should be responsible consequences of his or her misconduct. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 57 Forming a corporation is more costly than starting a sole proprietorship. The cost may include, for example, attorneys fees, incorporation f
48、ees paid to the state, and other outlays necessary to bring the corporation into existence. These costs are charged to an asset account entitled organization costs. In the balance sheet, organization costs appear under the other assets caption. Conceptually, organization costs are an intangible asse
49、t that will benefit the corporation over its entire life. But as a practical matter, most corporations amortize this asset to expense over a period of only 5 years, as allowed under income tax regulations. Because the amortization of organization costs usually is immaterial in dollar amount, this convenient treatment is justified by the accounting principle of materiality. 58 Organization costs are belong to assets. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 59 Organization costs must be amortized into expenses with
