Just to clear it up, Capital account doesn't ONLY deal with Assets, but also Liabilities.

My guess on capital and current offsetting - give me money so I can spend it. (Give me capital surplus so I can give myself a trade deficit). Like I swipe my credit card, I go into 10 dollars of debt (cash inflow to me) and I gave that 10 dollars to Timmy who made my lunch that day. 10 dollar outflow from me

[julieeigavara]

Thank you, I am well understand your explanations.

[jeffrey]

Just wondering.

What is a $0 'state' called?

Is it a $0 surplus or a $0 deficit?

Thanks.

[davart]

What is the difference between capital account and financial account

[nikhildixit]

Don't be destracted, be a 'focus'ed person.

[jumpz]

isnt shares and bonds part of financial account instead of capital account?

[lanreadisa]

Hey Sal, quick question.. On the College Board 2008 Exam for Macroeconomics, question 2a-ii, the problem asks whether the following scenario is a current account or capital account transaction:
"A United States manufacturer buys computer equipment from Japan."
According to the scoring guidelines, this is a current transaction. Isn't new computer equipment an investment asset? Capital?

What will be the impact on foreign exchange rates if there are capital inflows into a country by a foreign country??(capital inflows to fund economic growth of a country)

[shepherdrodgers]

How can this balance, when you cant determin what people will buy or what quantity will be exported?
