单选题 A large, creditworthy manufacturing firm would most likely get short-term financing by:
  • A. factoring its receivables.
  • B. issuing commercial paper.
  • C. entering into an agreement for a committed line of credit.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】Large, creditworthy firms can get the lowest cost of financing by issuing commercial paper. Selling receivables to a factor is a higher cost source of funds used by firms with poor credit quality. A committed line of credit requires payment of a fee and represents bank borrowing, which would be attractive to a firm that did not have the size or creditworthiness to issue commercial paper. Banker's acceptances are issued by banks for the benefit of a customer who imports goods.
