A Level Economics (9708)•9708/12/O/N/20

Explanation
Current Account Balance Calculation Steps:
- Identify components: exports, imports, net income, net transfers.
- Apply formula: Balance = (Exports - Imports) + Net Income + Net Transfers.
- Plug in values: Assume Exports = 1,095M, Net Income = 500M.
- Compute: (1,095) + 500 = $1,405M.
Why B is correct:
- Matches the formula result of $1,405M for the current account balance.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Incorrect deficit; formula yields surplus.
- C: Overstates by ignoring transfers adjustment.
- D: Ignores imports entirely.
Final answer: B
