QUESTION 10

Below is a table for the Balance of Payments of Goegania, a prosperous island nation.

Current Account			Financial Account
Exports of Goods	$1,940		Capital Inflow	$661
Imports of Goods	???		Capital Outflow	$347
Trade Balance		???	Financial Account		???
Exports of Services	$569		Capital Account		$0
Imports of Services	???		Statistical Discrepancy		$0
Services Balance		$16	Balance of Payments		???
Income Received on Investments	$704
Income Paid on Investments	$505
Net Income on Investments		???
Net Transfers		$-168
The balance on the Current Account		???

Given this information, what is the value for the imports of goods?

Sometimes this question generates some weird numbers. Remember that you would always add the values in a category to get the total. So the total for the Financial Account is always Capital Inflow + Capital Outflow and the Trade Balance is always Exports + Imports for this table. It's just that sometimes those values being added are negative. If you get a negative answer, you should enter in the negative.
