Jamie Barber · Answer 1

b. nonnegotiable, because cable is not a medium of exchange authorized or adopted by a government as currency.

Explanation:

Non negotiable instrument is one that ownership cannot be transfered to another person.

In this case a promissory note to deliver cables to First Internet Bank cannot be transfered to any other person but the company the delivery was intended for. It cannot be exchanged for goods or services.

Non negotiable can also be when the initiator of a transaction is unwilling to make changes to the value originally stated in the instrument.

Shiloh Stevens · Answer 2

The correct answer is letter "B": nonnegotiable, because cable is not a medium of exchange authorized or adopted by a government as currency.

Explanation:

Non-negotiable instruments are those in which transfer is not easy from one party to another. The character of non-negotiable also implies talking about that the price of that asset cannot be adjusted according to the currency used in the territory where the transaction takes place.
