Answer to Question 2

The current account includes records of trade of goods and services, investment income, and unilateral transfers. The purchase of American machinery by a foreign firm is recorded here. The capital account records changes in the ownership of real and financial assets. The sale of IBM stock to a foreign investor is recorded here.
