Now match the statements (1 -7) to the leUer (A , B , C or D).
1. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac received more money from the treasury and paid back less.()
2. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac misused the government' s support and lost more than $ 30 billion.()
3. The purpose for the government to create Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was to increase the availability of loans.()

6. The two mortgage giants might be required to pay the government back in the future.()
7. Fannie Mae reported quarterly net income of $ 2.7 billion.()
A
The Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) is the nation' s largest mortgage buyer and a financial juggernaut that affects the lives of tens of millions of home buyers. lt was taken over by the federal government on September 8 , 2008 , along with Freddie Mac , as the two mortgage giants struggled with deep losses and investors lost confidence in the pair.
B
The federal government created Fannie and Freddie to increase the availability of loans. Largely because of investors' belief in an implicit government guarantee , these so-called government sponsored entities were able to lower the cost of millions of mortgages. But during the housing boom , they misused the government' s support to enrich shareholders and executives by backing millions of shoddy loans. Fannie and Freddie lost more than $ 30 billion , in part as a result of the deals , losses that were borne mostly by taxpayers.
C
1n May 2012 , Fannie Mae announced that it made a profit in the first quarter and that it did not need additional bailout money-a first since the federal government took it over in fall 2008. The company reported quarterly net income of $ 2. 7 billion, up from a $ 6.5 billion loss in the first quarter of 2011.
A slowdown in the decline of home prices and in the number of homes entering serious delinquency allowed the company to eke out a profit after paying its dividend to the Treasury. Fannie Mae also said 10sses on its portfolio of home mortgages had probably peaked and that it expected better profits in the future , a sign that the worst might be over for the battered American housing market.
D
Fannie received about $ 116 bi1lion from the Treasury over the previous three and a half years and paid back about $ 23 billion in dividends. Its brother institution, Freddie Mac, received about $ 72 billion and paid back about $ 18 billion.
On Aug. 17 , 2012 , the Treasury Department announced it was changing the terms of its bailout agreement with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in a way that will shrink the holdings of the two mortgage giants more quickly and will require payment to the government of all quarterly profits the companies earn.

2 Your audit client, Prescott Co, is a national hotel group with substantial cash resource

点击查看答案
well managed and the group accounting policies are rigorously applied. The company’s financial year end is
31 December.
Prescott has been seeking to acquire a construction company for some time in order to bring in-house the building
and refurbishment of hotels and related leisure facilities (e.g. swimming pools, squash courts and restaurants).
Prescott’s management has recently identified Robson Construction Co as a potential target and has urgently requested
that you undertake a limited due diligence review lasting two days next week.
Further to their preliminary talks with Robson’s management, Prescott has provided you with the following brief on
Robson Construction Co:
The chief executive, managing director and finance director are all family members and major shareholders. The
company name has an established reputation for quality constructions.
Due to a recession in the building trade the company has been operating at its overdraft limit for the last 18
months and has been close to breaching debt covenants on several occasions.
Robson’s accounting policies are generally less prudent than those of Prescott (e.g. assets are depreciated over
longer estimated useful lives).
Contract revenue is recognised on the percentage of completion method, measured by reference to costs incurred
to date. Provisions are made for loss-making contracts.
The company’s management team includes a qualified and experienced quantity surveyor. His main
responsibilities include:
(1) supervising quarterly physical counts at major construction sites;
(2) comparing costs to date against quarterly rolling budgets; and
(3) determining profits and losses by contract at each financial year end.
Although much of the labour is provided under subcontracts all construction work is supervised by full-time site
managers.
In August 2005, Robson received a claim that a site on which it built a housing development in 2002 was not
properly drained and is now subsiding. Residents are demanding rectification and claiming damages. Robson
has referred the matter to its lawyers and denied all liability, as the site preparation was subcontracted to Sarwar
Services Co. No provisions have been made in respect of the claims, nor has any disclosure been made.
The auditor’s report on Robson’s financial statements for the year to 30 June 2005 was signed, without
modification, in March 2006.
Required:
(a) Identify and explain the specific matters to be clarified in the terms of engagement for this due diligence
review of Robson Construction Co. (6 marks)

That's 4% more than this year, and it is apparently lifting it right past General Motors. GM hasn't given a production target for next year, but it has been forced to slash jobs, scale back on production after seeing its market share eroded by Asian automakers. GM has been the global leader for many decades. Now Toyota stock closed up nearly 1.5% , but it was a very different story for the rest of the market. There was no Santa Claus rally after a surprise decline in orders for durable goods. The Dow Industrials, as you see, with this shot of the Big Board at the New York Stock Exchange fell 78 points. The NASDAQ Composite lost about two-thirds of a percent. Trading volume was very light and the market will be closed on Monday, Christmas day. Typical of the day Research in Motion initially rose on a positive earnings report.

第10题
Stock, in business and finance, is a share of ownership in a corporation. Shares in a corp
oration can be bought and sold, usually on a public stock exchange. Consequently, the owner of shares can realize a profit or capital gain if the stock is sold at a price above what the owner originally paid for it.
点击查看答案
Some companies enable stockholders to share in the profits of the company. These payments of corporate profits to stockholders are called dividends. In addition to having a claim on company profits, stockholders are entitled to share in the sale of the company if it is dissolved. They may also vote in person or by proxy on a variety of corporate matters, including the most important matter of who should run the corporation. When the company issues new stock, stockholders have priority to buy a certain number of shares before they are offered for public sale. Stockholders also receive periodic reports, usually quarterly, that provide information regarding the corporation's business performance. Stocks generally are negotiable, which means stockholders have the right to assign or transfer their shares to another individual.
A stockholder is considered a business owner and has the protection of limited liability under United States laws. Limited liability means that a stockholder is not personally liable for the debts of the corporation. The most a stockholder can lose if the company fails is the amount of his or her investment -- what he or she originally paid for the stock. This arrangement differs from that of other forms of business organization, which are known as sole proprietorships and partnerships. These business owners are personally liable for the debts of their businesses.
Corporations have good reasons to issue stocks. They issue stock in order to finance their business activities. This method of raising funds is only available to business firms organized as corporations; it is not available to sole proprietorships and partnerships. The corporation can use the proceeds of a stock offering in a variety of ways. Depending on the type of company, this might involve increasing research and development operations, purchasing new equipment, opening new facilities or improving old ones, or hiring new employees.
An alternative to stock financing is debt financing or the sale of bonds, an interest-bearing loan. This alternative is also available to sole proprietorships and partnerships. With the issuance of a bond a company typically promises to make periodic interest payments to the lender or bondholder as well as pay back the amount of the bond when the term of the bond comes to an end. Thus bonds are evidence of loans while stocks are evidence of ownership. Stocks and bonds are collectively known as securities.
When a corporation first makes stock available for public purchase, it works with an investment banking firm to arrange an initial public offering (IPO). The investment bank acquires the first issue of stocks from the corporation at a negotiated price, and then makes the shares available for sale to its clients and other investors.
A corporation can only have one IPO -- the first time it makes stock available to the public. After its IPO, a company is said to be public. Public corporations that need additional financing for further business development may choose to issue more stock at a later time. This is called a subsequent, or follow-on, offering.
Some corporations may choose not to go public. In this case it is said to be a privately held corporation. A corporation may elect to remain private because it docs not want to share its profits, or it may not want to give up control to shareholders.
Most of the information reported in the daily news media about the buying and selling of stock refers to transactions involving previously issued stock. The daily buying and selling of stock rarely involv
