Answer 1

Correct answer:

decreases U.S. net exports, and increases U.S. net capital outflow.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the situation US purchases oil from overseas (another country), it decreases its country's net export due to the fact that, nothing is shipped out of U.S. But rather, it is being imported. Also, this leads to increase of U.S net capital outflow due to money leaving the country to the other country from which the oil is being bought from.
