Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A trade surplus means that a country is exporting more than it is importing. This creates demand for the country's goods and services, which leads to increased production and employment. With higher production and employment, wages are likely to increase as well, leading to overall economic growth. Lower prices (choice B) might occur if the country is able to produce goods or services more efficiently than other countries, but this is not directly related to a trade surplus. Higher prices (choice A) are not typically associated with a trade surplus. The economy would not be damaged (choice C) by a trade surplus, but the benefits (such as increased employment and wages) might not be evenly distributed across all sectors of the economy.
