Suppose that a country imports $90 million worth of goods and services and exports $80 million worth of goods and services. What is the value of net exports?

a. $80 million
b. $170 million
c. $10 million
d. -$10 million

1 answer

Net exports are calculated as the value of exports minus the value of imports.

In this case, exports are $80 million and imports are $90 million.

Net exports = Exports - Imports
Net exports = $80 million - $90 million
Net exports = -$10 million

Therefore, the value of net exports is d. -$10 million.
