Consider trade in automobiles between the United States and Europe. The average European car costs €15,000. Suppose that the United States does
not import any other goods and services from other countries.
In March, the U.S. dollar-euro exchange rate is $1.16 per euro, and the United States imports 90,000 European cars at this exchange rate. Therefore,
in March, the United States spends a total of
▼ on imported European cars. If the total value of U.S. exports is $0.52 billion, the
United States has net exports of
In May, the U.S. dollar-euro exchange rate rises to $1.31 per euro. U.S. consumers respond to the dollar depreciation by reducing their imports to
85,000 European cars. Assuming that the average cost of a European car remains €15,000, the United States spends a total of
imported European cars in May. If the total value of U.S. exports remains $0.52 billion, the United States has net exports of
Suppose the U.S. dollar-euro exchange rate remains at $1.31 per euro for the rest of the year, and the average cost of a European car remains
€15,000. In October, the United States reduces its imports to 75,000 European cars. As a result, the United States spends a total of
✓on imported European cars.
