1. An American art professor spends the summer touring museums in Europe.
This action would lead to an increase in U. S. imports, as the professor would be buying foreign goods and services. Exports would remain the same, while net exports would decrease.
2. Students in Paris flock to see the latest movie from Hollywood.
In this case, U.S. net exports would increase. U.S. exports would rise because students are buying an American good, while imports would remain the same.
3. Your uncle buys a new Volvo.
U.S. net exports decline when your uncle buys a new Volvo. The U.S. imports would rise because the uncle is buying a foreign good (Volvo is made in Sweden). Exports remain unchanged.
4. The student bookstore at Oxford University in England sells a copy of this textbook.
U.S. net exports would increase. U.S. exports would also rise, while imports would remain unchanged.
5. A Canadian citizen shops at a store in northern Vermont to avoid Canadian sales taxes.
In this case, U.S. net exports would increase, as a foreigner is buying American goods. U.S. exports would rise too, while imports would remain unchanged.
Answer:
Imports: This is when goods or services that are produced by another country is bought by someone or the government into a country.
Exports: This is when goods or services produced by a country is bought by someone or the government in another country.
Net exports: this is when the total value of a country’s imports is minus from the country’s total exports value. It is used to measure the gross domestic product of a country and to know the country’s expenditure over a certain period of time. The value could be negative or positive, If the value of a country's imports is greater than the value of its exports, then the country is said to have a negative balance of trade which is called a trade deficit, and if the export value is greater than the import, then the Net export is positive.
