1. The highest risk for the exporter is in a. Letter of credit c. Advance payment b. Bill of exchange d. Consignment sales ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The highest risk for the exporter is in

d. Consignment sales.

Explanation:

a) A consignment sale is not an actual sale.  The risk remains with the exporter until the consignee has sold the goods and remitted the required amount to the consignor (exporter).  With a letter of credit, the exporter has made an actual sale guaranteed for payment by the importer's bank.  With advance payment, the exporter has received some payment for the goods before the importer receives them.  With a bill of exchange, there is a formal instrument acknowledging the sale.  Therefore, a bill of exchange, letter of credit, and advance payment are used for actual sales, while consignment sale is for transfers of goods for sale.
