Answer: -$1,700

Explanation:

The Net exports are to be calculated by deducting imports into the U.S. from Exports to other countries from the U.S.

Exports:

2. Autozone, a U.S. company, sells 200 spark plugs to a South Korean car company at $3.50 per spark plug.

Imports

1. Waddah, a liquor store owner in the United States, buys 80 bottles of wine from a French vineyard at a price of $30 per bottle.

= Exports - Imports

= (200 * 3.50) - [80 * 30]

= -$1,700

The third transaction is neither an import nor an export as it was conducted entirely in the U.S.
