Question:

Suppose that for a given country the demand for imports can be expressed as IM = 1,250 + 0.05E and the demand for exports can be expressed as X = 750 − 0.08E, where E is the exchange rate (units of foreign currency per unit of domestic currency).

Calculate the trade balance when E = 200.

Calculate the new trade balance if this country devalues its currency 20%.
