Answer:

B) 30 BILLION Canadian dollars.

Explanation:

The balance of payments (BOP) formula is:

BOP = current account + financial account + capital account + balancing item

BOP always = 0

so if Canada's financial account is -$40 billion, its capital account is $10 billion, and there is no balancing item, then:

0 = current account - $40 billion + $10 billion

current account = $40 billion - $10 billion = $30 billion
