By definition, net exports from Japan are equal to exports from Japan minus imports into Japan. In a hypothetical two-country world, imports into Japan are equal to exports from the United States. So the value for net exports from Japan is equal to exports from Japan minus exports from the United States. Graphically, at each exchange rate, the value for net exports is the horizontal distance from U.S. exports to Japanese exports.

![18. Deriving net exports
By definition, net exports from Japan are equal to exports from Japan minus imports into Japan. In a hypothetical two-country world, imports into
Japan are equal to exports from the United States. So the value for net exports from Japan is equal to exports from Japan minus exports from the
United States. Graphically, at each exchange rate, the value for net exports is the horizontal distance from U.S. exports to Japanese exports.
Use the graph input tool to answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. (Note: To avoid dealing
with decimal places, this calculator reports the price of yen in terms of dollars per 1,000 yen. That is, the price on the vertical axis is the dollar price of
a 1,000-yen note instead of a single yen. As you have already seen, a price of 8 dollars per 1,000 yen is the same as 125 yen per dollar. Once you
enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly.)
