• Nothing changes, he stocks were earlier with an American company too.

• The Current account increases, there will be no change in net foreign assets (since the check was drawn on a US bank, it means the Spanish person had already had the money in US only).

• Nothing changes, the wine was bought, from Italy, already by the restaurant.
