Examples of grading in the following topics:
-
- Bond ratings below BBB/Baa are considered to be not investment grade and are colloquially called junk bonds.
- The threshold between investment-grade and speculative-grade ratings has important market implications for issuers' borrowing costs.
- The risks associated with investment-grade bonds (or investment-grade corporate debt) are considered significantly higher than those associated with first-class government bonds.
- The difference between rates for first-class government bonds and investment-grade bonds is called investment-grade spread.
- The higher these investment-grade spreads (or risk premiums) are, the weaker the economy is considered.
-
- Standardization and Grading: Standardization refers to the process of setting certain norms or standards for a product with regard to shape, size, color, quantity, quality, weight, etc.

-
- A general assumption held by engineers and mechanics in many industries is that efficient motors are more expensive than their inefficient counterparts because heavier copper wire, thinner core laminations, higher-grade steel and higher-grade bearings cost more.
-
- These attributes can include access to natural resources, such as high grade ores or inexpensive power or access to highly trained and skilled personnel human resources.

- When finding a gas station that is selling its highest grade for USD 0.06 less per gallon, the customer must consider the 16 mile (25.75 kilometer) drive to get there, the long line, the fact that the middle grade is not available, and heavy traffic.
