    c. The U. S has a trade deficit. The U. S. purchases $800 billion worth of foreign assets and foreign countries purchase $600 billion worth of U. S. assets.

    Explanation:

    Exports = $300 billion

    Imports = $500 billion

    Trade surplus / (deficit) = $300 billion - $500 billion

    = ($200 billion)

    Considering all the options,

    Purchases = $800 billion

    Sales = $600 billion

    Trade surplus / (deficit) = $600 billion - $800 billion

    = ($200 billion)

    Hence the right answer is c. The U. S has a trade deficit. The U. S. purchases $800 billion worth of foreign assets and foreign countries purchase $600 billion worth of U. S. assets.
