Answer:
$11 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the deficit or surplus in 2018.
First step is to calculate the national budget debt using this formula
National budget debt= Budget surplus in 2008 + budget deficit in 2009 + budget surplus in 2010
Let plug in the formula
National budget debt= $304 million - $452 million + $109 million
National budget debt= - $39 million
Now let calculate the the deficit or surplus in 2018 using this formula
Deficit or surplus= National budget debt + national debt
Let plug in the formula
Deficit or surplus= -$39 million + $50 million
Deficit or surplus= $11 million
Therefore the deficit or surplus in 2018 is $11 million
