Business Vocabulary (Part 3)

Visit this link (http://www.englishclub.com/business-english/vocabulary_money.htm). Find 1-2 terms that you don't know (or don't know well) and post the words with their definitions. Can you then write one sentence that incorporates both of those words used correctly? Give it a try!
