Question
The equations set in the beta economy are as follows:Y=7,000G=1,500T=1,200C=200+0.8(Y−T)I=1,200−4,000rNX=400−600ϵr=r∗=0.04In a beta economy, which of the following options correctly describes the balance of trade?A.A. The economy has a trade surplus of 380 units.B.B. the economy has a trade deficit of 380 units.C.C. the economy has a zero trade balance.D.D. the economy has a trade deficit of 760 units.
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.
