I have an upcoming final and these are the questions of a review I did absolutely horrible on. I am genuinely unsure as to what I am getting wrong. If someone could tell me what I got right and what I am doing wrong and give me the answers so I can study properly I will appreciate it more than you know. Each question could have one answer or multiple answers. I am so unsure thank you!!!!

O While living in Nigeria, Dr. Watson buys a banana.Question 4 2 pts Why is Dr. Watson unconcerned about the trade deficit? O) The trade deficit only counts trade in goods. We sell more financial assets than we buy, leading to a "current account" deficit but a "capital account" surplus in our balance of payments. The trade deficit reflects the fact that foreigners want to invest in America, so they sell us goods in exchange for stocks, bonds, and other financial assets. Dr. Watson is only unconcerned so long as interest rates remain low. As they increase, he will be more worried about the trade deficit. Because the dollar is still strong. If it gets weaker, then he'll worry. It's overstated: Take smartphones for example. They are made of parts from 12+ countries, including the US, but we count them as if they came 100% from China instead of subtracting the part that came from us in the first place
