For investments in U.S. Dollars the current Treasury bill rates are considered as risk-free rate of interest. T-bills are considered free of default risk because they are fully backed by the U.S. government. However, given the most recent defaults of countries like Ukraine (2016), Argentina (2014), Greece (2012), and Côte d’Ivoire (2011), the phrase “risk-free” needs to be taken with a healthy pinch of salt.

Free on board (FOB) shipping is a trade term published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), indicating which party assumes the cost of delivering goods. Some costs of FOB shipping include transportation and insurance. Cash on delivery (COD) is a type of transaction in which the recipient makes payment for a good at the time of delivery. If the purchaser does not make payment when the good is delivered, then the good is returned to the seller.
