Explanation of Solution

Net export is the additional value of export over the imports, which can be calculated by subtracting imports from exports. When the import is greater than exports, it shows trade deficit of the country. Aggregate demand is the sum of consumption, investment, government expenditure, and net export. Since the net export is a factor in calculating aggregate demand, trade deficit will cause a decrease in aggregate demand. On the other hand, the benefit of trade deficit can be summarized as the increase in the ability to consume goods and services, which increases the production. An increase in imports means an increase in foreign capital inflow to the country, which will compensate the shortage of savings. Otherwise, this may lead to government deficit.
