Question 3

Correct Answer:

Verified

Nothing will happen to the U.S.current account deficit,unless the import restrictions cause a change in savings or investment behavior.Absent these changes,which are unlikely,reduced U.S.imports of Japanese cars will lower the U.S.demand for yen,which will lead to a rise in the dollar's value.The appreciating dollar will make U.S.exports less competitive and other foreign imports more attractive.The net result is that a reduction in U.S.imports of Japanese cars is balanced by reduced U.S.exports of goods and services and increased U.S.non-steel imports.

The purchases of goods and assets by domestic residents from foreign residents are because they cause an outflow of foreign exchange. increase the demand for the foreign money in the foreign exchange market.
