单选题 The normal income statement which constitutes one of the financial statements of company, is financial income statement. So functional income statement is an 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 outside readers with information about company's progress and about which functional areas are being emphasized. For management's use in the decision-making process, however, an income statement that follows a cost behavior approach, often referred to as a Contribution Margin Income Statement, is more valuable.

单选题 A note receivable is a negotiable instrument, which means it is readily transferable from one business or person to another and may be sold for cash. To get cash quickly, payees sometimes sell a note receivable to another party before the note matures. The payee endorses the note and hands it over to the note purchaser--often a bank--who collects the maturity value of the note at the maturity date. Selling a note receivable before maturity is called discounting a note receivable because the payee of the note receives less than its maturity value. This lower price decreases the amount of interest revenue the payee earns on the note. Giving up some of this interest is the price the payee is willing to pay for the convenience of receiving cash early. Assume that the maturity date of the Dorman note is January 18, 1995 and that General Electric discounts the Dorman note at First City National Bank on December 9, 1994. The discount period--which is the number of days from the date of discounting to the date of maturity (this is the period the bank will hold the note) -- is 40 days; 22 days in December, and 18 days in January. Assume the bank applies a 12 percent annual interest rate in computing the discount value of the note. The bank will want to use a discount rate that is higher than the interest rate on the note in order to increase its earnings. GE may be willing to accept this higher rate in order to get cash quickly. The discounted value, called the proceeds, is the amount that GE receives from the bank. The proceeds are computed as follows: General Electric's entry to record discounting the note is: Dec. 9, 1994cash $ 15 170 Note receivable Dorman Builders $ 15 000 Interest Revenue $ 170 TO RECORD DISCOUNTING NOTE RECEIVABLE At maturity the bank collects 15 375 from the maker of the note, earning 205 of interest revenue. Observe two points in the above computation: (1) The discounting is computed on the maturity value of the note (principal plus interest) rather than on the original principal amount, and (2) the discounting period extends backwards from the maturity date (January 18, 1995) to the date of discounting (December 9, 1994).

单选题There are two general ways in which the term "market" is used in economics. First, a market is thought of as a formal or informal organization of buyers and sellers who conduct trades in particular commodities or services. The market may be located at a geographical meeting place, such as your friendly neighborhood bookstore or shopping center (a retail market). A market may be organized over wide areas connected through phones or computer terminals. Although the trading room of the New York Stock Exchange is located in New York City, buyers and sellers who actively participate in this market may conduct their trades from distant locations. This description is the institutional way of looking at a market. The second meaning of the word "market" is used in formal economic models. Here the equations that explain the demand and supply of a commodity such as money are sometimes grouped together. Although money is traded in all markets, the reasons for supplying and holding money are thought to be specific enough to warrant separate equations. This is an abstract way to think of the money market. New financial assets are traded in primary markets. Financial assets that are resold are traded in secondary markets. Finns that specialize in trading either new or reissued financial assets are called primary and secondary dealers, respectively. Both new and reissued securities are traded in many markets, such as the U. S money market. The New York Stock Exchange, however, is a secondary market.

单选题The market for large business certificates of deposit or negotiable certificates of deposit (CDs) in denominations of $100,000 or more has been active since 1961. It is a money market specializing in the sale of Marketable, interest-yielding deposit certificates with specified maturity dates, issued by four types of financial intermediaries. Domestic CDs are issued by US banks. Dollar-de- nominated CDs issued by banks outside the United States are called Euro CDs. The CDs issued by US branches of foreign banks are called Yankee CDs. Thrift CDs are the name used to designates CDs issued by domestic thrifts. The holder of a CD who wishes to exchange it for money before its maturity date will ask a money market participant (often a commercial bank) to arrange a sale through a specialized dealer. There is an active secondary market in CDs centered in New York. There are approximately 25 dealers in CDs. The CD is an instrument that allows the depository intermediaries to raise funds at competitive market rates. It is called one of their managed liabilities. Since they loan out funds at their lending rates, they would normally keep their advertised prime rate above the CD rate. As noted previously, the prime rate formula that had been used by Citibank set the prime one-and-a-half percentage points above the previous three-week average of 90-day (3-month) CDs sold in the secondary market. The yield on 3-month CDs is usually higher than 3-month Treasury bills. Treasury bills have a lower default risk and exempt from state and local tax. This may explain the extent of the spread.
