The projected trade deficits for a country in 2021-2023 are in the following table: Net Year Exports (billion $) 2021 -10 2022 -5 2023 2024 ? You are asked to calculate the size of the trade surplus required to balance the sum of net exports for the 2021-2024 period in present discounted value terms. You know that future values are discounted at rate i = 3% . The 2024 surplus that accomplishes this goal is $. billion. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Assume a U.S. firm buys (imports) $5 million (in U.S. dollars) of foreign goods. That transaction by itself increasesthe trade deficit by $5 million. But, the $5 million will flow back to the United States to purchase either (i) U.S. goodsand services or (ii) U.S. assets.• How does the way the $5 million comes back to the United States determine whether there will be balancedtrade or a trade deficit?• How does the U.S. economy benefit from either transaction (the foreign purchase of U.S. goods and services[exports] or the purchase of U.S. assets)?
What have been the major causes of the large U.S. trade deficits in recent years? What are the major benefits and costs associated with trade deficits? Explain: “A trade deficit means that a nation is receiving more goods and services from abroad than it is sending abroad.” How can that be considered to be “unfavorable”?
The relation of foreign debt/GDP of country Indebted is 60%, given that the greatest part is sovereign debt (i.e., it represents government obligations with foreign investors). Given that the foreign investors are concerned about a possible default by the Indebted government, the interest rate on the debt is 10%. Assume that product growth for Indebted is only 1% and that the capital-account balance is equal to zero. a. Compute the current-account balance Indebted needs to maintain the debt/GDP ratio constant. b. The deficit in current account for Indebted is 6.8% of GDP. Calculate the lack in current resources and interpret the result.
The macroeconomic view of a trade deficit implies that, other things equal, the imposition of a tariff will reduce South Africa's trade deficit.
A country's annual imports are I(t) = 30e0.2t and its exports are E(t) = 20e0.1t, both in billions of dollars, where t is measured in years and t = 0 corresponds to the beginning of 2000.
