Answer

Step #1 of 3

The difference between the value of a nation's net imports and net exports over a particular time interval is referred to as the balance of trade (BOT), sometimes known as the trade balance . 

Step #2 of 3

A trade surplus is indicated by a positive trade balance, whereas a trade deficit is indicated by a negative trade balance. The BOT is a crucial factor in defining a country's current account balance.. 

 

there are two account in BOP 

1. Current account 

a. visible item ( export and import of only goods )

b. invisible items ( export and import of only services ) 

c. unilateral transfers ( donations , gifts, grants etc ) 

d. factor income earned ( wages , interest , dividend etc) 

NOTE : only visible and invisible items is considered in trade balance .

 

2. Capital account 

a.  borrowings and lending 

b. FDI and FIIs

c. disinvestment etc . 

Note : no items of capital account is a part of trade balance . 

trade balance = value of  exports - value of  imports 

here exports and imports mean of goods and services. 

Country B trade balance as follows 

export of goods and services = country A import of coffee from country B (EXPORT) +country B exports of shoes to country C . 

total value of export = $4000+$6000

 Export = $10,000

there is no import made by country B 

therefore Import = 0 

 

trade balance = export - import of goods and services 

 trade balance = 10,000 - 0 

= $10,000 is the answer  

Step #3 of 3

1st transaction is not a part of visible and invisible items  . it includes in factors income paid (interest) by country B . but it will not included in calculation . 

 

same as in 2nd transaction 

4th transaction is fall under unilateral transfer ( donations ) it also will not be included in calculation of trade balance . 

5the transaction is also not a part of trade balance rather it falls under factors income (wages ) 

7the transaction is not a part of trade balance because it is included in capital account ( as financial investment or FIIs). 

8the transaction is alo not a part of trade balance . it is part of capital account
