Question

Indicate how each of the following transactions affects U.S. exports, imports, and net exports.

Answer 1

Answer:

 export               import                net export  

1. increases         unchanged         increases

2. unchanged       increases             decreases

3.  unchanged       increases             decreases

4. unchanged       increases             decreases

5. increases         unchanged         increases

Explanation:

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 export = exports – imports

When the French historian visits the US museum and the European family visits Disney,  they are enjoying US services, thus export increases and net export increases

The purchase of books from Cambridge in UK, Panasonic camera and the visit to Japan constitutes import. These increases import and reduces net export
