Roger Jameson is the head of the consumer loan department at First National Bank. He is a regular participant in a lending committee of a local finance trade association. The committee meets once a month at a local hotel. After the committee meetings, Roger and several other committee members who are officers at other banks in town go to a hotel restaurant and talk for a couple of hours before leaving. During these informal conversations Roger learned that the other members require the car dealerships in town that sell consumer installment contracts to the banks to refrain from selling them to local savings and loan associations. Roger believes that this is a good idea and would like to implement it at First National. Is there a problem with doing so?

  1. No, because interest rates are not involved.
  2. No, because this decision would have no effect on the cost to the consumer.
  3. Yes, unless there are enough dealerships in town to provide contracts to all of the institutions.
  4. Yes. Restricting the dealerships is a restraint of trade.

Answer(s): D



First National is developing a consumer checking account that can access a line of credit. This is the first time the bank has ever had such a product, although this type of credit facility has been popular with other banks in town. To determine what interest rate to charge on this account, an officer of First National called some of his friends at other local banks offering this type of credit and asked several questions, including the interest rate charged on this type of account and what internal factors the banks use to set the rate. After obtaining this information, First National determines that it could charge approximately 2 percent more than it originally planneD. Is there anything wrong with this course of action?

  1. Yes. Communicating with competitors for purposes of setting prices is wrong.
  2. No. Communication itself is never wrong regardless of the subject matter.
  3. Yes. The bank should have disguised its identity in calling its competitors.
  4. No. The bank could probably have determined the prices eventually without calling the banks directly.

Answer(s): A

Studying from this dump helped me understand the concept and what comes in the exam. But I only get about 80 to 85% of the questions not 100% as it is claimed. Well... still good enough to pass.
