Negotiable Instrument

Today I have answered multiple choice questions on Negotiable Instruments Reviewer by RM Harina and I got 68 out of 90 questions right or a rate of 76%. I took the exam for one hour only and majority of my incorrect answers are on the topics of warranties of qualified endorsement and questions on acceptance. Guess I have to review more. Also, I have to be more careful in answering specially those tricky ones.

  3. No. It is not negotiable. The instrument do not complies with requirements of negotiability under sec. 1 of the N.I.L., the instrument is not payable on demand or at fixed or determinable future time. Hence, not negotiable.

  4. As an altenative answer.

    Yes. It is negotiable. The instrument complies with Sec. 1 of the N.I.L.The fact that there is no mention as when it is payable, the instrument is considered payable on demand, under Sec. 7 (b) of the N.I.L. Hence, negotiable.
