When a U.S. domestic producer begins selling exports, they typically need to worry about the foreign exchange market, since often
the revenues an exporter earns are foreign currencies that then need to be traded into dollars. Because the foreign exchange value
of the dollar tends to fluctuate, this adds an additional level of risk to the exporter's business. What are some factors that would
make a domestic producer willing to take on this extra and new type of risk?

- “There has been a turnaround from the sizeable net outflows over the past two years when South African companies stepped up their efforts to internationalise their businesses. The shift in direct investment trends made a small contribution to improving the financial account of South Africa’s balance of payments, which showed a surplus of 3.5% for the third quarter, up from 1.3% the previous quarter. The Reserve Bank’s quarterly bulletin shows that capital inflows were more than adequate to finance the deficit on the current account deficit of the balance of payments, which widened to 4.1% from a revised 2.9% in the third quarter. Economists expect that the current account deficit, which tends to be a driver of the rand exchange rate, will narrow again in the fourth quarter as exports pick up again” (Joffe, 2016).

Although it can often result in an imbalance in these markets, the following identity must remain true: Net Capital Outflow = Net Exports In other words, if a transaction directly affects the left side of this equation, then it must also affect the right side. The following problem will help you understand why this identity must hold. Suppose you are the purchasing manager for a large chain of restaurants in the United States, and you need to make your semiannual purchase of tea. You pay $1,500,000 for a shipment of tea from an Indian tea producer. Determine the effects of this transaction on exports, imports, and net exports in the U.S. economy, and enter your results in the following table. If the direction of change is "No change," enter "0" in the Magnitude of Change column. Hint: The magnitude of change should always be positive,…arrow_forward
