Explanation / Answer
The Lukistan merchandise trade balance equals ____-130______ billions of dollars.
Balance of trade = exports of goods and services - imports of goods and services
440 Merchandise exports (including military sales) + 280 Exports of services - 490 Merchandise imports (including military purchases) – 360 Imports of services
X = Exports of goods and services
M = Imports of goods and services
NY = Net income abroad (40 - 60)
NCT = Net current transfers ( – 70 )
CAB = X - M + NY + NCT = -130 -20 -70 = -220 billion dollars.
capital account: – 11 Outflow of U.S. capital – 26 Inflow of foreign capital + 80 Increase in U.S. official reserve assets – 14 Increase in foreign official assets in U.S. = 29 billion dollar.
