An exchange with an add collect results in what?

• A. Money owed to the ARC by the agency's client.
• B. Money owed to ARC.
• C. Money owed by the agency's client.
• D. A credit to the GDS.

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that add/collect creates a receivable from the traveler. In this scenario, the agency adds a charge and will collect that amount from its client (the traveler). That means the money is owed by the agency’s client to the agency (and ultimately to ARC through the agency). It isn’t money owed to ARC directly, nor money owed by the agency, and it isn’t a credit to the GDS. For this reason, the result is money owed by the agency’s client.
