Solution

The correct answer is:

a. deficit; $250 million

Explanation:

In a small open economy, the difference between domestic output (Y) and domestic spending is equal to net exports (NX), which is the difference between exports and imports.

So, if domestic output (Y) is 750millionanddomesticspendingis750 million and domestic spending is 850 million, then NX = Y - Domestic spending = 750million750 million - 850 million = -100million.Thismeansthecountryisrunningatradedeficitof100 million. This means the country is running a trade deficit of 100 million because it is spending more on imports than it is earning from exports.

If total imports are 350million,thentofindthetotalexports,weaddthetradedeficittotheimports.So,Exports=Imports+Tradedeficit=350 million, then to find the total exports, we add the trade deficit to the imports. So, Exports = Imports + Trade deficit = 350 million - 100million=100 million = 250 million.
