Manuel orders 60 bottles of wine from a French distributor at a price of $30 per bottle. 2. A U.S. company sells 300 spark plugs to a Korean company at $5.00 per spark plug. 3. Shen, a U.S. citizen, pays $1,100 for a laptop he orders from Mack (a U.S. company). Complete the following table by indicating how the combined effects of these transactions will be reflected in the U.S. national accounts for the current year. Hint: Be sure to enter a "0" if none of the transactions listed are included in a given category and to enter a minus sign when the balance is negative.

a. When there is a decrease in the price level, all else held equal, net exports will fall, which causes a decrease in the quantity of real GDP demanded. b. Use the aggregate demand graph to illustrate the effect of net exports on aggregate demand when there is a decrease in the price level, all else held equal. Instructions: Use the tool provided 'New Point' to plot a single point that shows the effect of net exports on aggregate demand (plot only 1 point).

If a rise in trade deficit results from a decrease in the quality of your country's products. a. How would this affect net exports at any given exchange rate? b. Use a three-panel diagram to show the effect of this shift in net exports on the real exchange rate and trade balance. c. Does a decline in the quality of your country's products have any effect on your standard of living? Give a clear elaboration with example or graphs or facts (Hint: When you sell goods to foreigners, what do you receive in return?)
