INTRODUCTION
• The prosperity of countries is hinged on international trade.
• Countries need to export higher value and import lower value in order to
maintain a balanced trade portfolio.
• A positive value of international trade shows that the country’s economy is
strong, while a negative value shows that it is weak.

PROFILE
• I am an international trader from the continent of Australia.
• The items of trade are aluminum, wool and coal
• My intentions in the market are to sell of all that I have and purchase a wide range of
commodities for resale to customers back at home.
• I commence trading with 5 and 100 metric tons of aluminum and coal respectively, and
800kg of wool. The amount of money at my disposal is $ 8,000.
• I manage to raise my account to $34000 by selling all the items
• Then I manage to purchase goods from all the other continents except cotton in Africa where
I am restricted by being informed that there are trade restrictions between our countries.
• After buying a considerable amount of goods, I am able to remain with $25,000.
