Explanation / Answer

Ans : U.S net exports = $ 230 billion

Explanation:

Total import of U.S = $450 billion + $ 500 billion = $950 billion

Total export of U.S = $700 billion + $480 billion = $ 1180 billion

Net export = Export - Imports

= $ 1180 - $ 950

= $ 230 billion

Ans:China's net export = - $230 billion

Explanation:

Total export of China = $450 billion + $ 500 billion = $950 billion

Total import of China = $700 billion + $480 billion = $ 1180 billion

Net export = Export - Imports

= $ 950 - $ 1180

= - $230 billion

Ans : Yes , U.S GDP increases.

Explanation :

GDP = C + I + G + ( Ex - Im )

If net export value is positive , the value of GDP will increase. In this case the U.S net export is positive.

Ans : By $ 230 billion U.S GDP increases.
