Question 96

What is the proportion of positive and negative Manufactures trade balance in the period 2012-2016 ?

Solution

Trade balance = Imports - Exports 

For 2012:

Manufactures Trade balance = Manufactures import - manufactures export

                                           = 500*(35/100) - 275*(65/100) = -3.75                                                                       (From Graph)

For 2013:

Manufactures Trade balance = 475*(40/100) - 350*(60/100) =  -20

For 2014:

Manufactures Trade balance = 450*(45/100) - 325*(55/100) = 23.75

For 2015:

Manufactures Trade balance = 375*(50/100) - 275*(70/100) = -5

For 2016:

Manufactures Trade balance = 350*(55/100) - 250*(75/100) = 5

Number of positive trade balances = 2

Number of negative trade balances = 3

Proportion of positive and negative trade balances = 2:3
