Hi all,
Have the following questions need your help!
12. A transferable credit can do which of the following?
A Protect the applicant from the risks of loss and error.
B Allow the second beneficiary to obtain payment for complying documents.
C Restrict the right of the second beneficiary to claim payment directly from the nominated
bank.
D Permit the supplier to provide the intermediary trader with the security of a documentary
credit.
----> How is Option D wrong? Is it that 'supplier' shld be changed to '1st Bene's bank'?
16. Which of the following statements is correct when an assignment of proceeds has been effected
under a documentary credit issued in accordance with UCP 600?
A The assignee must present complying documents to receive payment.
B The assignee will receive payment of the proceeds directly from the applicant.
C The value of the documentary credit is reduced by the amount of the assignment.
D The beneficiary has assigned its rights to the stated amount of proceeds to the assignee.
----> Is there any difference between 'assignment of proceeds' vs 'assignment of right to proceeds'. I think I am confused by the term 'assignment of rights to perform' because it is emphasized in the book that 'assignment of rights' is different from 'assignment of proceeds, not rights'
On 03 January XXXX an irrevocable documentary credit for USD 500,000.00 is confirmed. On 17
January XXXX the confirming bank receives an amendment cancelling the documentary credit
which it advises to the beneficiary. As at 18 January XXXX, what is the liability of both banks?
A Issuing and confirming bank – USD 0.00.
B Issuing and confirming bank USD 500,000.00.
C Issuing bank – USD 0.00 Confirming bank – USD 500,000.00.
D Issuing bank – USD 500,000.00 Confirming bank – USD 0.00.D 3 and 4 only.
----> Answer is (B). Is it because (1) question did not say Issuing Bank, Confirming Bank & Beneficiary agree to the amendment & (2) qn did not say Confirming Bank had extended confirmation, so by default, we say Confirming Bank had not extended confirmation?
If otherwise, (1) Issuing Bank, Confirming Bank & Bene had agreed --> then ans would be (D)?
