单项选择题

A consumer with an unused line of credit on his or her credit card account may make retail purchase without presenting a demand deposit check or cash. Unutilized credit card credit is used instead. The line of unutilized credit available to card holders may be a good candidate for inclusion in the definition of money. These credit lines serve as a medium of exchange for the purchase of a wide variety of goods and services. Lines of unutilized credit card credit are similar to unutilized demand deposit overdraft facilities, which allow customers to issue checks for more money than they have on deposit. Overdrafts, which have long been used in Great Britain and Canada, are now widely used in the Unite States, often against bank credit card credit.
The range of transactions that might be included in computerized credit card transactions is large. Taxicabs, newspaper stands, vending machines, public transportation, street vendors, and highway toll stations, to name but a few places where cash is used, could all, be provided with small machines that store information about purchases. These data sources could be linked into computer terminals at convenient locations or could be entered synchronously with the purchase through centralized communication networks. A centralized electronic funds transfer system could even instantaneously charge the purchases against the buyers’ bank accounts and credit the funds to the sellers bank accounts.

The credit card serves as a medium of exchange in the wide range of transactions.（）

A. Right.     
B. Wrong.     
C. Doesn’t say.

单项选择题
How is discounting period calculated A. From December 9, 1994 to January 18, 1995. B. The discounting period begins with the date of making the note and end with date of selling it to the note purchaser. C. The number of the days is calculated from the date of discounting to the date of maturity. D. The days of discounting period involve the discounting date and the maturity date.
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 RECEIVABLEAt 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).
