Part C. Reading Comprehension (20 pts)

I. Read the text below and then write T or F for each the statements that follow. (10 pts)
TRADE DEBT
Most businesses rely on giving credit to their customers. This is especially true in a free market where
there are many suppliers competing to supply one product or service. These businesses have to fight
competition to get sales. If their competitors are providing credit, they have to provide it as well. They
may not want to give credit but, when faced with the choice between making a sale with credit and
not making a sale, they will prefer to give credit. Competition forces suppliers to provide credit for
their customers.
This situation gives rise to the problem of debt collection. A customer may pay a trade debt at the end
of the credit period, say one month, or delay payment for as long as possible. Such a situation is
harmful to the suppliers. They may find themselves financing their customers’ production. This is
very expensive in times of high interest rate because their customers are using money on which the
suppliers have to pay interest. Also the suppliers may need the money to finance their own
production. In addition, they have to employ extra staff to send out second invoices and reminders.
1. The suppliers are always ready to give credit to their customers. ____
2.

Debts will be paid immediately at the end of the credit period. ____

3. Interest is not the only cost that the suppliers have to face with. ____
4. There are permanent officer for collecting debts. ____
5. Giving credit may help increase sale. ____
