The worked question on this page is original educational practice. It is not represented as a question from an official previous-year examination paper.
01 / UNDERSTANDING
Review the question
Create an original salary-payment-loan case that tests economic meaning rather than recognising a brand name. Keep the grocery payment explicitly account-funded so credit is not implied. An original checkpoint is: Which event creates the separate contractual repayment obligation in the example? Supported answer: The loan under its agreement. Explain the decisive fact, then alter one condition and solve again. This is an original practice method, not a claim that the question appeared in an official past paper.
02 / UNDERSTANDING
The concept in context
Connected services do not have identical terms, costs or risks; a payment facility should not be confused with an offer of credit. A useful study check is to state whether the purpose is holding, paying or borrowing, then read the terms of the specific service. Explain why the method fits the stated facts before applying it to a changed situation.
03 / UNDERSTANDING
A worked learning case
A fictional customer receives salary into an account, uses an account-funded payment to buy groceries and separately borrows for a permitted purpose under a loan agreement. The salary credit increases the customer’s bank claim, the payment uses available funds and the loan creates a repayment obligation. Grouping all three simply as money received would conceal their different economic meanings.
ORIGINAL EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE
Try it before you check.
Which event creates the separate contractual repayment obligation in the example?
Show the answer and reasoning
The loan under its agreement.
The salary receipt is income credited to the account, and the stated account-funded purchase uses existing funds. The separate loan creates an obligation to repay under its terms. Keeping these functions distinct helps interpret statements and agreements accurately, while avoiding the assumption that every increase in an account balance is the same kind of income.
Two traps to watch for.
- Calling borrowed funds income without recognising the repayment obligation.
- Assuming a payment facility and a credit product have identical terms.
