18、以延长。故本题选 A项。 【知识模块】 金融英语业务知识 2 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 答案为 C项。 performance bond“履约保函 ”。美国银行不能出具涉及外贸的保函,因此,具有保函功能的备用信用证可以在此用上。故本题选 C项。 【知识模块】 金融英语业务知识 3 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 答案为 D项。 countertrade“对等贸易,返销贸 易,互抵贸易,反向贸易 ”。它是一种既买又卖,买卖互为条件的国际贸易方式。其主要目的是以进带出,开辟各自的出口市场,求得每宗交易的外汇收支平衡或基本平衡。对等贸易的基本形式有:易货贸易 (barter),详见本单元第 8
19、5题的题解。互购(counterpurchase),也称为对购 (reciprocal trade)或平行交易 (parallel trade),是最简单、最常用的对等贸易形式。它是一种现汇交易,是指 方向另一方山口商品或劳务的同时,承担以所得款项的一部分或全部向对方购买一定数量或金额商品或劳务的义务 。回购 (buyback),又称补偿贸易 (compensation trade),指一方在信贷的基础上,从国外另一方买进机器、设备、技术、原材料或劳务,约定在一 定期限内,用其生产的产品、其他商品或劳务,分期清偿贷款的一种贸易方式。抵销 (offset),目前多见于军火或大型设备,如飞机等的交
20、易。抵销交易可分为两种类型: “直接抵销 ”和 “间接抵销 ”。在直接抵销的情况下,先出口的一方同意从进口方购买在出售给进口方的产品中所使用的零部件或与该产品有关的产品。有时,先出口方对进口方进行生产这些零部件会提供技术或进行投 资。这种直接抵销有时也被称为 “工业参与 ”或 “工业合作 ”。在问接抵销的情况下,先出口方同意从进口方购买与其出口产品不相关的产品。本题中只有 D项所述的不是对等贸易的形式,故选 D项。 【知识模块】 金融英语业务知识 4 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 答案为 B项。托收当事人有四个,主要责任如下:委托人(principal),也称出票人,一般是出口商,主要是行使
