Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Additions to the nation's capital stock occur through investment, which includes investments made by firms or individuals in machinery, equipment, and infrastructure. The current account surplus refers to the balance of trade and services, and it does not necessarily lead to an increase in the capital stock. Similarly, the government budget surplus refers to the excess of government revenues over expenditures, and it may not directly lead to increased investment or capital stock.
