Answer:

Price will fall , demand curve shift downward , some firms exit

Explanation:

This is a case of perfectly competitive firms - who have same products, same prices, no supernormal profits or abnormal losses.

From a long run equilibrium of normal profits, if there is decrease in industry demand : The firms' identical demand would also decrease, downward sloping demand curve would shift leftwards / downwards. Decreased demand would reduce the over all price in the industry. So, firms will start incurring losses. Hence, many firms will exit the industry. Firms exit would decrease market supply.

Decreased supply would increase market price. Profit would increase at higher price & short run loss (due to demand decrease) would disappear, industry would resume again long run normal profit equilibrium.

Alborosie

Answer:

Net export decreases and net capital outflow decreases

Net export increases and net capital outflow decreases

Net export decreases and net capital outflow increases

Net export increases and net capital outflow increases

Explanation:

Net export = export - import

export would comprise of goods and services produced in the US that are been sold to foreign countries

Import would comprise of foreign produced goods and services that are been sold in the US

Net export would increase when export occurs and decrease when import occurs

Net capital outflow measures the flow of funds in a country. It is the difference between purchase of foreign assets by the citizens of a country and the purchase of domestic assets by foreigners

Net capital outflow = purchase of foreign assets by citizens - purchase of domestic assets by foreigners

Net capital outflow is positive when purchase of foreign assets occur and negative when purchase of domestic assets occur.

1. the setting up of the factory is an import and there is a flow of funds into the US economy. Thus, net export and net capital flow decrease

2. A Apple computer is produced in the US. The sale to a German constitutes an export but there is a flow of fund into the US economy. net export increase and net capital outflow decreases

3. Sony is not produced in the US. the purchase of the TV constitutes an import and there is a flow of funds out of the US economy. Net export reduces and net capital outflow increases

4. The opening of the fashion company outlet in the UK constitutes an export and there is a flow of funds out of the US. Net export increases and net capital outflow increases
