The answer is: United States would have a deficit of $11 billion in the given year.



A trade surplus occurs when a country exports more than it imports. On the other hand, a deficit is when a country imports more products than it exports.



In the above example, the United States is exporting only $5 billion of goods but importing $16 billion of products. This means that the total trade deficit in the example is 16-5 = $11 billion.



This actually represents the current situation of the United States where it has a significant trade deficit with many major economies in the world, most noticeably with China.

The correct answer is: "The US has a trade deficit of $11 billion".

If the amount of goods imported in a country exceeds the amount of goods exported, like in the case presented, there had been a trade deficit. It can be also said that the country has registered a negative balance of payments. In this scenario, the country will have to seek for resources to finance that difference between the inflows and outflows. Moreover, a trade deficit represents an outflow of domestic currency to foreign markets.

How did the Articles of Confederation limit the powers of the central government?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

In order to protect states' rights, the Articles set strict limits on congressional authority. Under the Articles, the states, not Congress had the power to tax. Congress could raise money only by asking the states for funds, borrowing from foreign governments, and selling western lands.
