Suppose Speaker City, an electronics retailer in the United States, pays Sony, an electronics manufacturer in Japan, $10,000 for 100 PlayStation 2 video game systems.

Sony exchanges the $10,000 at the First National Bank of Tokyo for 800,000 yen.

4.1. Assume that the U.S. current account was in balance prior to the above transaction. How does the transaction affect the current account balance?

A. The United States now runs a current account surplus.

B. The current account remains unchanged; this transaction affects only the financial account.

C. The United States now runs a current account deficit.

A. Appreciated against the yen

B. Remained unchanged against the yen

C. Depreciated against the yen

4.3. Given the change in the U.S. current account, the U.S. financial account _________ and the U.S. becomes a net ______.

A. Decreases; creditor

B. Decreases; debtor

C. Increases; debtor

D. Increases; creditor

4.1. – C. The United States now runs a current account deficit.
US purchases goods from JP – thus there trade deficit emerges.

4.2. – A. Appreciated against the yen
More ¥ are required to purchase same amount of $

4.3. – C. Increases; debtor
BoP = CA+KA+FA = 0
-CA = KA+FA
Current account deficit = Financial account surplus
CA deficit ? Credit < Debit
FA surplus ? ?NFA<0

10 points please (: $$$$$

Here’s one of the reasons. A video walkthrough of one of our big local electronics surplus stores. This is the smaller of two such stores I know about (HSC, the bigger one is Weird Stuff). The video shows about half of the store. It’s a bit boring, even if you’re into this kind of stuff. It’s just meant to show how much cool junk you can find here.

Okay so like, If there was a virus or a disease that killed off half the population. Would that create a positive influence for the economy?,

Because like, half the houses would be un-inhabited. Imagine how low the housing prices would be. You could just pick any house you wanted, remove any rotting corpses and you could buy it for hardly any amount.

Cars would be really cheap, because there’d be twice as many cars needed for the population.

And second hand electronics, and televisions, there would be such a surplus of goods, everything would be extremely cheap. Because there would be no-one to use them.

Would it create an overall positive effect for the economy?

We don’t need a nasty virus to get those effects. Larger government will do all that for you by killing off those who disagree with the regime.

How could anyone think the wholesale massacre of 1/2 of the population would be good? By any means that would be disastrous. Who cares about the free goodies that would be left behind? What if it were your sons or daughters, parents or friends? Would there be cause for celebration then?

I don’t want links to some website that will send me a card after I upload a song, I want plans. I have moderate to advanced knowledge of electronics avaiable at places like surplus stores and radioshack, and I am looking for a way to solder my way into my girl’s heart. I need to be able to record my own audio onto the device, and it needs to be remotely able to fit into a greeting card and make it through the mail. Thanks and once again, I want plans, not something somebody else made.

moderate to advanced? Let’s see… You can probably get an online order by next week, so order a cheap voice recorder chip, hook it up to your sound-playing device, record it, get a small speaker / amp / lithium coin cell battery, and kinda pack it all in there.

Then you put a little switch on the card that causes it to play when you open it.

Building something like that will take moderate – advanced skills.

I am looking for a cheap (under $30) AC/DC Power Supply with the following specs:
Input: Should be in the 60Hz range and a volt range that includes 115VAC
Output 1: +12v @ A => 3A (equal to or more than 3A)
Output 2: -12v @ mA * (amout of mA doesnt matter)
Output 3: Regulated +5v @ => 1.5A
Output 4: Regulated -5v @ => mA*

I know the people into electronics are gonna say "That price is unreasonable" So some links to surplus stores or even schematics would be nice.

In case anyone feels that I don’t need these requiremens here are the main parts in the design the power supply will be used for:
1 +5 volt NE556
1 +5 volt 8Pin PIC
2 LED
1 38KHz Detector
1 highpower MOSFETS and a couple of transistors
1 +12 volt DC Motor\ Amperage req are unkown but are likely under 4 amps, as it is from a Milwakue cordless drill

So with these specs, are the two negative outputs even required? Or do I just need the two positive outputs and a GND?

Thanks in advance, sorry about the length of the question.
Geez! that Raidmax KY-550ATX Hybrid PSU is a bute! But please keep the answers comming.

As I see the compoents and the requirements of them, which the power supply is going to feed, i can clearly understand that
your
NE556 needs +5V only (and of course GND), drawing current in miliamps

similarly PIC needs +5V only (and of course GND), drawing current in miliamps

2 LED they can be fed only with +5 volt (or +12 Volt), again drawing current in miliamps

38 Khz detector, you did not give the part or details, but as I found in web it also need +ve DC bus dwaring minimal current.

1 MOSFET and transistors, again types to be known but it need not nescessary that you need a -ve bus. Think with +ve only your work will be done, if you are using it to break the power path of the motor.

MOTOR anyhow need +12 volt

so finally to answer, you CAN actully manage the situation with only the TWO +Ve and ONE GROUND. but will suggest verify the mosfet and transistor requirements.

I have some working experience with the power supplies. The price seems to be reasonable. You surely can get one in this budget, go through web to find a good deal

hope these help

You are watching through my 24x scope at a pile of electronics. ps2 controllers. 2 keyboards one xbox and about 12 crap dvdrs. Plus a melted 400watt power supply. my friend to the left of me is shooting 308 dpms ar10 with surplus ammo. Ranged at 100yards.

Ok so i did all my Christmas shopping and i have a surplus of $300, I’ve come to the conclusion that I could save it, but, my savings account is comfortable as is, and I hardly buy myself stuff, I am more need over want, however I really want to treat myself, keep in mind I love books, electronics, clothes, and other stuff normal 20 year old guys like, so give me any and all ideas ya got

Well, I doubt anybody here knows you (including myself), so going by what you stated, I would say do the following:

-Buy a few books
-Buy a new electronic gadget
-Buy a new outfit or two
-Take whatever is left over and save it

By doing that, you can get a little of everything, of which accommodates to your liking.

I hope this helps!

In the 1970s when inflation hit double digits, politicians changed the formula for calculating inflation. Everyday necessities were given less weight in the inflation rate. Items like electronics, that historically drop in price from year to year, when counted more heavily. This created the illusion that inflation was falling.
Politicians today have changed the formula for calculating the federal budget deficit. By applying a surplus in the Social Security fund into the general budget, they were able to report a $247 billion deficit instead of the actual number, $700 billion.
When considering the future Social Security demand, the national debt now exceeds $80 trillion. Some economist predict it will take an 80% increase in taxes across the board to balance the budget when all the baby boomers have retired.
Has changing the accounting solved the problem or just handed it off to the next generation?

Dude the baby boomers will never make it to retirement age, thats part of the plan man, they will secretly kill us off in ways not to arouse suspicion.
