Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The capital account includes items such as foreign aid and other types of transfers, and since the US traditionally gives more foreign aid than it receives, its net transfers received will be negative. The trade balance reflects the difference between a country's exports and imports of goods and services, and foreign aid is not included in this measurement. Investment income would reflect the income earned on US investments abroad and vice versa, which is not directly relevant to the question.
