Question
Chapter 30, Problem 1DQ
To determine
The effect on American import of Japanese cars, Japanese import of American cars, and American export of goods and services.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
- The quality of American cars has improved as compared to the cars of other countries, so the American import of Japanese cars would reduce because the quality of American car is better than that of the Japanese cars. Thus, import of Japanese automobiles would fall.
- As the quality of American cars has improved, the
demand for American cars would increase, in both domestic as well as foreign market.
- As a result, there will be an increase in American cars exports and with this there will be an increase in Japanese import of automobiles as well.
- There would be no change in the American export of goods and services other than automobiles because only the quality of automobile has increased. There would be no change in the quality of other goods.
