for question 4...meyero has me confused...i got answer C...but correct me if i'm wrong
Meyero is right in a way i guess......but c is the best answer cos its not in terms of assets.......Meyero also said that:
net foreign liabilities (net debt plus net equity) =
Total Foreign Liabilities (gross debt plus gross equity) - Total Foreign Assets (gross debt plus gross equity).
now according to this, the LHS is the definition of net foreign liabilities ( the answer to the question on the paper)
and cos we know LHS= RHS (by definition), we know that in essence all the RHS is doing, is doing what the LHS is doing....now the LHS is just adding up net debt and net equity...which is the answer...in essence its a simplified version of --> ( Total Foreign Liabilities - Total Foreign Assets). even if the question is a calculation, thats how u calculate foreign liabilities....
