33、sage One The most basic tool of the accountant is the accounting equation. This equation presents the assets of the business and the claims to those assets. Assets are economic resources of a business that are expected to be of benefit in the future. Cash, office supplies, merchandise, furniture, la
34、nd and buildings are examples. Claims to those assets come from two sources. Liability are outsider claims, which are economic obligations, debts payable to outsiders. These outside parties are called creditors. For example a creditor who has loaned money to a business has a claim a legal right to a
35、 part of the assets until the business pays the debt. “Insider claims“ are called owners equity or capital. These are the claims held by the owners of the business. An owner has a claim to the entitys assets because he or she has invested in the business. Owners equity is measured by subtracting lia
36、bilities from assets. 51 Assets can be classified into current assets and fixed assets. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 52 The owners of a business are those who have invested their money in the business.

37、siness. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 53 The amount of liabilities of a business tells us how much the business owes to outsiders. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 53 One of the most important functions of the accounting process is to accumulate and report accounting information that sh
38、ows an organizations financial position and the results of its operations. Many businesses publish such financial statements at least annually. The subdivision of the accounting process that produces these general-purpose reports is referred to as financial accounting. Another major function of acco
39、unting is to provide management with the data needed for decision-making and for efficient operation of the firm. Although management people routinely receive the financial reports, they also require various other information, such as the unit cost of a product, estimates of the profit earned from a
40、 specific sales activity, cost comparisons of alternative courses of action and long-range budgets. The process of generating and analyzing such data is often referred to as managerial accounting. 54 The purpose of managerial accounting is to prepare financial statements every year. （ A） Right （ B）
41、Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 55 Financial statements include balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 56 Financial statements are used only by the outsiders of a firm. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 57 The management of a firm needs to use the re
42、sults of both financial accounting as well as managerial accounting. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 57 Well over half of all bank commercial loans are made for a short term, that is, for period of less than one year. Of these loans, about half are made on an unsecured basis to seasonal busine
43、sses and to borrowers with short-lived and project-oriented needs for funds. Secured short-term borrowers typically are less strong financially or are untested businesses without an earnings record. The most common type of short-term loan is the working capital line of credit extended to financially
44、 strong borrowers who have seasonal swings in their operations. Retailers and seasonal manufacturing firms are regular users of such credit. Through the line-of-credit commitment, a bank indicates its intention to honor borrowings up to the amount of the line. The amount is established on the basis
45、of the customers proforma peak funding requirement, and it assures the borrower of the availability of funds to finance bulges in working capital as sales expand and contract. The line of credit facility is very flexible and overcomes the need to extend a series of separate short-term loans. The cus
46、tomer “takes down“ only parts of the line as the need arises, so that redundant borrowings are unnecessary. Loan interest is charged on only the amount actually borrowed, and the loan may be repaid as reflows of cash to the firm occur when seasonal sales decline. 58 The periods of short-term loan is
47、 less than one year. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 59 Loan interest is charged on only the amount actually borrowed. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 60 In quite a few instances, line-of-credit borrowing is unsecured. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 四、阅读理解 60 The forward market al
48、so provides facilities for forward currency transactions. This is a means of enabling the importer or exporter to agree a rate of exchange, now, at which a foreign currency will be exchanged for sterling at a future date, usually one, two, three or six months ahead but sometimes one or two years. Th
49、is rate is fixed regardless of what might have happened to the rate of exchange in the meantime and is particularly useful in an era of floating, and potentially volatile, exchange rates. If, for example, a British importer of US machines which cost $ 3,000 each has to pay in one months time he may prefer to buy the currency now for actual delivery in one months time.
