If the current account is running in as deficit, the capital account must be running in a surplus equal to the same amount and thus the overall balance of the payments is same as before.

Explanation:

In a freely floating exchange rate system, the nation's balance of payments must always be zero.

So if the current account is running in as deficit, the capital account must be running in a surplus equal to the same amount and thus the overall balance of the payments is same as before.

Answer from: LuckyCharms988

The balance of payments (BOP) must equal 0 in a free floating exchange rate system.

The formula for determining the BOP = current account + financial account + capital account +

current account = flow of income from one country to another, i.e. net trade between nations, net earnings from foreign investments and transfer paymentsfinancial account = flow of assets from one country to another, includes foreign direct investment and portfolio investmentscapital account = flow of money between entities in one country to another, e.g. transfer of remittances from the US to Mexico

If the current account is negative (has a deficit) it means more money exits the country though a trade deficit or earnings from foreign investments. In order for the BOP to equal 0, then both the financial account and/or the capital account must have a surplus that offset the deficit from the current account. Usually the capital account is much smaller than the financial account, at least in developed nations. In some developing countries, e.g. Central America that depend on foreign remittances, the capital account is much larger. So most of the surplus generally comes from the financial account in developed countries.

The gilbert instrument corporation is considering replacing the wood steamer it currently uses to shape guitar sides. the steamer has 6 years of remaining life. if kept,the steamer will have depreciaiton expenses of $650 for five years and $325 for the sixthyear. its current book value is $3,575, and it can be sold on an internet auction site for$4,150 at this time. if the old steamer is not replaced, it can be sold for $800 at the endof its useful life. gilbert is considering purchasing the side steamer 3000, a higher-end steamer, whichcosts $12,000 and has an estimated useful life of 6 years with an estimated salvage value of$1,500. this steamer falls into the macrs 5-year class, so the applicable depreciationrates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. the new steamer is fasterand allows for an output expansion, so sales would rise by $2,000 per year; the newmachine's much greater efficiency would reduce operating expenses by $1,900 per year.to support the greater sales, the new machine would require that inventories increase by$2,900, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $700. gilbert's marginalfederal-plus-state tax rate is 40%, and its wacc is 15%.a. should it replace the old steamer? b. npv of replace = $2,083.51
