Passage 2 Liabilities are obligations a company owes to outside parties. They represent rights of others to money or services of the company. Examples include bank loans, debts to suppliers and debts to employees. On the balance sheet, liabilities are generally broken down into current liabilities and long-term liabilities. Current liabilities are those obligations that are usually paid within the year, such as accounts payable, interest on long-term debts, taxes payable, and dividends payable. Because current liabilities are usually paid with current assets, as an investor it is important to examine the degree to which current assets exceed current liabilities. The most pervasive item in the current liability section of the balance sheet is accounts payable. Accounts payable are debts owed to suppliers for the purchase of goods and services on an open account. Almost all firms buy some or all of their goods on account. Therefore, you will often see accounts payable on most balance sheets. Long-term debt is a liability of a period greater than one year. It usually refers to loans a company takes out. These debts are often paid in installments. If this is the case, the portion to be paid off in the current year is considered a current liability. That wraps up our short review of liabilities. You only have one piece of the balance sheet left to learn shareholders’ equity. Remember that assets minus liabilities equals shareholders’ equity. Shareholders’ equity is the value of a business to its owners after all of its obligations have been met. This net worth belongs to the owners. Shareholders’ equity generally reflects the amount of capital the owners invested plus any profits that the company generates that are subsequently reinvested in the company. This reinvested income is called retained earnings. The following statements concerning long-term debt are true except that ______.

A. long-term debt is a liability of a period longer than one year
B. long-term debts are paid in installments
C. despite of different payment plans, long-term debts are never classified as current liabilities
D. the loan borrowed by the company is a typical example of long-term debt

Passage 3 Date: 26 Jan. 1993 From: the Kwangtung provincial bank, H. K. Corporate division-treasury Foreign exchange market: Dollar continued its weakness and dropped almost two pfennigs against mark on Monday dealing. Traders’ sentiment was changing greatly. At the beginning of this year, dollar rallied due to positive sentiment that the economy would recover in the expected fashion and German interest rate would ease soon. However, the hopes were dashed after a series worse-than-expected data were released and reluctance to cut rate by German Bundesbank. It seemed that the present us-German interest rate differential would be unlikely to narrow. On Monday trading, technical factor drove dollar further lower and it was quoted as low as 1.57 marks. Some dealers were quite bearish towards dollar, expecting it to ease further to 1.55 even 1.53 level in near future. Dollar also performed weak against Japanese yen. Dealers claimed that the talk of Japanese interest rate cut had been discounted, adding almost no pressure on the Japanese yen. Meanwhile, market was turning focuse on trade balance. Due to huge surplus, dealers believed that the yen should be stronger. During intraday dealing, the dollar was once quoted as low as 122. 75 yen. What is the main reason for dollar’s weakness

A series worse-than-expected data were released.
B. German Bundesbank was reluctant to cut rate.
C. Technical factors.

Section One Directions: There are three passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Passage 1 Larger banks in large cities often specialize in particular ancillary services in addition to the bank deposit services they supply. They may have foreign branches in order to provide banking services in particular foreign countries. Large banks may sell consumer credit card services; that is, they allow individual banks to join their credit card network. They may be brokers in the federal funds markets, a market for short-term loans in which commercial banks participate. Banks may specialize in handling trust agreements. Large banks often provide many of these services for their depositors as well as selling these ancillary services to other banks. This provision of services to other banks is called correspondent banking. The degree of competition in the market for banking services may be related to the number of depository intermediaries in a particular locality. If there is one commercial bank and no thrifts in a small town in a remote area, most of the residents may deposit their funds in the local bank. If there are no financial intermediaries offering similar services, such as business loans, the local bank supplies most of these loans. In most areas, other financial intermediaries and nearby banks compete for loan business. Larger loans made to larger local businesses may not be supplied solely by banks in the local area. Unlike the cost of transporting physical property, the cost of transporting money by check is negligible. The capital market, the market for borrowing funds, cannot easily be subdivided by geographical areas. This consideration makes the measurement of competition for large-loan business in a given geographical area a difficult problem. However, in some states one or several bank holding companies own a significant number of banks in the state. This subject is discussed subsequently. What do large banks allow individual banks to do

A. To sell credit cards to consumers.
B. To join their credit card network.
C. To provide other banking services.
D. To specialize in federal funds.
