    Consider the following explanation

    Explanation:

    The current account is related to changes in a country's net international investment position. The term Net International Investment Position is used to refer to the difference between the value of foreign assets owned by the country's residents and the value of the country's assets owned by foreign residents.

    The net international investment position changes when there is deficits or surpluses in the current account, which imply, respectively, net international purchases or sales of assets.

    Therefore, ∆NIIP = CA

    NIIP2011 = NIIP2010 + CA2011

    NIIP2011 = 1000+500 = $1500

    Now, NIIP2012 = NIIP2011 + CA2012

    NIIP2012 = 1500 + (-2000) = - $500

    Similarly, NIIP2013 = NIIP2012 + CA2013

    NIIP2013 = - 500 + 3000 = $2500

    Therefore, NIIP2014 = NIIP2013 + CA2014

    NIIP2014 = 2500 + (-3000) = - $500

    So, the accounting value of Country A's Net International Investment Position at the beginning of 2015 is - $500.
