Solution

To answer this question, we first need to calculate the Net Exports (NX) which represents the balance of trade.

Given that NX = 400 - 600ϵ and r = r* = 0.04, we can substitute r into the equation for NX.

So, NX = 400 - 600*0.04 = 400 - 24 = 376.

This means that the economy has a trade surplus of 376 units.

However, none of the options provided exactly match this result. The closest option is A. The economy has a trade surplus of 380 units. But this is not exactly correct. The exact answer should be: The economy has a trade surplus of 376 units.
