13、,裝運的最后期限為08年3月31日.b文中提到的“additiona27days根據(jù)合同賣方同意在買方船期延誤的情況下為其將貨物保存到4月27日.(1)答案：Yes做題切入點：aFOB術(shù)語關(guān)于雙方費用劃分的規(guī)定；b合同本身的條款規(guī)定.(2)答案：No.做題切入點：合同本身的條款規(guī)定.(3)這題與第一題相比,不同的一點在于“withabetterprice:'解答時應(yīng)對這一點進行分析：在賣方賣出貨物獲得更高利潤的情況下,他是否還應(yīng)獲得相關(guān)賠償？答案：Yes做題切入點：合同本身的條款規(guī)定.2.

15、esellerpay?析：a貨物在裝運港已經(jīng)“officiallycertifiedasGradeOne,這就說明貨物的質(zhì)量是合格的,而且是經(jīng)官方確認的.b文中提到“duetolongvoyag這說明貨物變質(zhì)的原因是由于運輸時間長.答案：No.做題切入點：a貨物變質(zhì)的原因；bCFR術(shù)語下風險轉(zhuǎn)移的情況.3.

16、sunk.Thenextdaytheseller'sbankpresentedtheshippingdocuments,insurancepolicyandinvoicestothebuyer,anddemandedpayment.(1)Shouldthebuyerpay?(2) Whichpartywouldhavetotaketheloss?析：此題的關(guān)鍵疑問在于買方明知貨物已全部損失,不可能再收到貨物,是否還應(yīng)支付貨款.這是考察對“symbolicdelivery這個概念的理解.在CIF術(shù)語下,賣方交貨時買方并沒有真正收到貨物,賣方的交貨是通過貨交承運人并獲得相關(guān)單據(jù)(尤其是物權(quán)

17、憑證)來實現(xiàn)的.而相應(yīng)的,買方必須接受交貨,也就是買方必須接受賣方提供的相應(yīng)單據(jù)并履行相關(guān)支付的義務(wù).(1)答案：Yes.做題切入點：a賣方履行其義務(wù)的情況；bCIF術(shù)語對雙方交貨、領(lǐng)受貨物的規(guī)定；c解釋“symbolicdelivery在這里的應(yīng)用.(2)答案：Buyer.做題切入點：CIF術(shù)語下風險轉(zhuǎn)移的情況.由于本章主要討論貿(mào)易術(shù)語的應(yīng)用,關(guān)注的主要是買、賣雙方.如果答案是保險公司,那么要求說明損失的風險首先是由買方承當?shù)?在風險屬于保險公司承保范圍內(nèi)的情況下,保險公司會對買方進行局部或全部的賠償.4.

20、因此買方拒收貨物.從外表上看,似乎問題就是出在賣方違約上,但如果仔細分析就會發(fā)現(xiàn),該合同本身的內(nèi)容就存在自相矛盾的問題.合同用的是CIF術(shù)語,賣方在貨過船舷時風險就轉(zhuǎn)移賣方既不承當運輸途中的風險,也不保證貨物是否能才£達目的港.CIF合同本質(zhì)上是一個"shipmentcontract但加上一條保證到岸時間的條款后,合同的性質(zhì)發(fā)生了變化：它變成了一個“arrivalcontract也就是說,在貨物按時抵達目的港之前的一切風險都由實方承當,否那么賣方就是違約.(1)答案：No.做題切入點：aCIF術(shù)語對雙方風險及義務(wù)的劃分,點出“shipmenbontract這一概念；b解釋“

21、arrivadateclause合同性質(zhì)的改變.(2)答案：DES.做題切入點：比照兩個術(shù)語在義務(wù)、費用劃分上的相似程度.5.

24、onthiscase.案例要點解析：a賣方根據(jù)合同規(guī)定履行了各項義務(wù),造成貨物到港延誤的原因是船公司擅自改變運輸安排,賣方對此并不知情.b賣方把CIF理解成到岸價格存在錯誤,混淆了承當風險與承當費用的區(qū)別.如果把CIF理解成到岸價格",那么CIF就變成了一個到岸合同術(shù)語(arrivalcontracttermi)了,而實際上它應(yīng)該是個裝運合同術(shù)語(shipmentcontractterm)0c因此,賣方在此情況下不應(yīng)進行賠償,而是應(yīng)該協(xié)助買方向船方進行索賠.ChapterthreeV.CaseStudies1.

33、eeInc.的回復對價格進行了更改,這是一個還盤.當DeeInc.對報盤進行還盤,原來的報盤就自動中止了.在這個前提下,LeeCo.可以采取任何行動而不須顧慮先前的報價.b.盡管DeeInc.在原報盤的有效期內(nèi)又發(fā)出了一個無條件接受報盤的回復,但由于之前他們已經(jīng)進行了還盤,所以此時的接受無效.答案：Yes做題切入點：a還盤的定義；b報盤中止的因素.8.

35、構(gòu)成了一個還盤.原報盤那么被中止.b.在這個前提下,再來考慮X都有哪些選擇以及哪個是最可能或最好的.c.X可能有的各項做題切入點：a,還盤的定義；b.報盤中止的因素;選擇；d.X最可能選擇的做法及原因.ChapterfourVI.CaseStudies1.

37、包裝.b.合同本身的品質(zhì)規(guī)定是Grade3"c.實際所交貨物的品質(zhì)是“Grade2'.(1)答案：Yes,買方可以拒收貨物.不管品質(zhì)比規(guī)定的好或差,只要實際所交貨物的品質(zhì)是與合同本身的品質(zhì)規(guī)定不同,就是不符.在此情況下,買方有權(quán)利拒收貨物.做題切入點：品質(zhì)不符的理解.(2)答案：Yes,如果我是賣方,我會與買方磋商,尋求買賣雙方都能接受的處理方法.做題切入點：與買方磋商解決.2.

39、ellermakeanymistake?Whyorwhynot?析：答案是Yes.買方可以向賣方提出索賠,由于賣方交付的貨物的品質(zhì)與樣品不符；在這筆交易中,賣方犯了起碼兩個錯誤：錯誤(1):品質(zhì)條款沒有品質(zhì)機動某些產(chǎn)品(如農(nóng)副產(chǎn)品等)的質(zhì)量具一定的不穩(wěn)定性,為了交易的順利進行,在規(guī)定其品質(zhì)指標的同時,應(yīng)制定一定的品質(zhì)機動幅度,允許賣方所交的貨物的品質(zhì)指標在一定的幅度內(nèi)有靈活性.否那么單一的品質(zhì)指標難以達至L往往給賣方履行合同帶來困難.做題的切入點：品質(zhì)機動條款錯誤(2):品質(zhì)規(guī)定用了雙重標準,既憑合同規(guī)格買賣,又憑樣品買賣.表示品質(zhì)的方法很多,品質(zhì)條款應(yīng)視商品的特性而定,采取合理的品質(zhì)規(guī)定.但

40、凡能用一種方法表示某種品質(zhì)的,一般就不宜用兩種或兩種以上的方法來表示.根據(jù)聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同公約,如同時采用既憑樣品又憑規(guī)格買賣,那么要求賣方交付的貨物的品質(zhì)必須既與樣品一致,又要符合合同所規(guī)定規(guī)格,要做到兩全其美,難以辦得到,往往給賣方履行合同帶來困難.做題的切入點：品質(zhì)規(guī)定的雙重標準,既憑合同規(guī)格又憑樣品買賣3. XCompanysignedacontracttoexportrice.Thequantitywas10,000tons.Aftertakingthedelivery,theforeignbuyerdemandedanadditional160metrictonsofrice

41、.Whatwentwrong?析：此題的解題要點：合約中的數(shù)量為“噸,是不明確的規(guī)定.“噸,在實行公制的國家一般理解為公噸,每噸為1000公斤；在實行英制的國家一般理解為長噸,每噸為1016公斤；在實行美制的國家一般理解為短噸,每噸為907公斤.所以,當賣方理解為公噸,每噸為1000公斤；而買方理解為長噸,每噸為1016公斤是,這份合約下賣方實際交貨的數(shù)量與買方預期收貨數(shù)量的差異為160公噸(1016kg-1000kg)X10,0000=160000kg=160metrictons.答案：是買賣雙方對合約數(shù)量規(guī)定的“噸有不同的理解.做題的切入點：a.數(shù)量規(guī)定不明確；b.不同度量衡制度下的“噸表

42、示的實際數(shù)量不同.4. ABeijingcompanysignedacontracttoimportwoolfromAustralia.Thequantitywasspecifiedas20M/T“Whenthewoolwasdelivered,ithadaregainof33%.(1) Whatisaregain?(2) Whydidthebuyergetabaddeal?(3) Ifthestandardregainis10%,andactualregainis33%,whatistheconditionedweight?析：此題的解題要點：a.文中提到合同約定的數(shù)量是“20MT,應(yīng)理解為

43、凈重.由于計算重量的方法有毛重,凈重,公量等,而根據(jù)聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同公約第五十六條,如果價格是按貨物的重量規(guī)定的,如有疑問,應(yīng)按凈重確定.b.合同商品的羊毛,具有較強的吸濕性,其所含的水分受客觀環(huán)境的影響較大,故其重量很不穩(wěn)定.為了準確計算這類商品的重量,國際貿(mào)易中買賣雙方通常會約定標準(公定)回潮率,采用按公量計算的方法.(1)答案：回潮是指貨物(纖維材料)在環(huán)境溫度下吸濕含水的現(xiàn)象潮率那么是指貨物纖維材料含水重量占貨物纖維材料干重的百分比做題的切入點：回潮率的概念2答案：買方這筆交易不劃算.由于合同中沒有明確規(guī)定計算重量的方法,只能按凈重計算.因此當賣方實際交貨的羊毛,因具有較強的吸

44、濕性而其所含的水分高達33%是,買方也別無他法,只得按凈重連帶33%的水分計算付款.:ConditionedWeight=DriedNetWeightx1+StandardRegain=NetWeightx1+StandardRegain1+ARtUaegaigiainDriedNetWeight=NetWeight/(1+ActualRegain)=20/(1+33%)=15.04M/TMoisturecontent=ActualWeight-DriedNetWeight=20-15.04=4.96M/Tor:Regain=(moisturecontent/ovendriedweight)x

46、0x(1+10%)/(1+33%)=16.54M/T做題的切入點：公量的計算ChapterfiveVI.CaseStudies1.
