Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The capital account balance is the difference between the net inflow of foreign direct investment and the net outflow of domestic direct investment. If the net inflow of foreign direct investment increases by 100, then the capital account balance will increase by 100. The original capital account balance was -150, so the new balance will be -150 + 100 = -50.
