The U.S current account is in surplus,and China's exports dec crease

Answer 1

B) The U.S capital account is in surplus, and China's exports increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The capital account measures the change in foreign ownership of domestic assets - domestic ownership of foreign assets.

While the current account measures exports - imports, plus net income and direct payments.

Both are part of the balance of payments (BOP) = capital account + current account. Since the BOP = 0, if the country imports more than it exports (trade deficit), the current account will be negative. That means that the capital account must be positive (to balance the equation).

Answer 2

B. The U.S capital account is in surplus, and China's exports increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Fiscal policy is the ways by which the government of a nation adjusts its expenditure levels and tax rates to check and influence a nation's economy. It is the sister strategy to the monetary policy in which the apex bank(central bank) influences a nation's money supply.

Going back to the question, since there is a fiscal deficit, it is expected that the U.S capital account is in surplus, and China's exports increase.
