The trade deficit will be given by:
deficit=(amount exported)-(amount imported)
amount exported=$61,475,059
amount imported=$69,696,824.
deficit=(69,696,824-61,475,059)
trade deficit=$8,221,765

Answer:  b. trade deficit of $8,221,765

Answer: B. trade deficit of $8,221,765

Step-by-step explanation:

In the condition of trade deficit ,

Import > Export,

While in the condition of trade surplus,

Import < Export,

Here, Import = $69,696,824 and export =  $61,475,059,

Since, $69,696,824 > $61,475,059

Therefore, here trade deficit occurs,

And, trade deficit = Total import - Total export =  $69,696,824 - $61,475,059=$8,221,765

⇒ Option B is correct.
